Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Oh so true...

Chap walks into a pet shop wanting to buy a monkey.
Owners says that he has three for sale, £500, £1000, £5000
"Why the difference?" the chap asks.
"£500 monkey - civil engineer, can build anything."
"What about the £1000 one?"
"Mechanical engineer - fix anything, install ductwork, steel, fix the car..."
"Blimey, well waht about the £5000 one? What does he do?"
"Not sure, but he calls himself a consultant"

I’ll get my coat...
Taxi!

Hi Nigel

Another definition of a consultant is someone who borrows your watch and then tells you the time.

Best regards
