Thanks once again Lanwench
It was worth asking. I have worked the web pages code a bit to rearrange the
menu page etc so I will customise it a bit more to make it look sweet for
them or make it step through the menu page since they never use ony of the
menu items other than than their own desktop - yep 'never'. I will of course
keep the original pages as there really is no such thing as never. They won't
do another IP. They will accept this login but they asked if I could
investigate a simpler method. Thanks again.
