Hi Richard,

Your final suggestion for changing the code to get it working on PHP5.2
will work well for us.

Just to make sure I don't do the wrong thing, can you send me a link
with the specific code changes that need to be made please and the file
name I need to make them to?

Thanks very much - I appreciate the assistance,

Anthony
