Thanks Michael.
On your point 1): If true then Drat! Never noticed on OE. Strange that the
Hotmail web displays correctly without me having to change the column headers
- seems to have the smarts built in. I suppose it is a very simple database
behind the client - not that I know anything about dbs'.
On your point 2): Thanks, but may be too much of a muppet to get this right.
Will give it a go... :~}
Cheers
