Hi Rixxie, sorry, I think I'm going to have to admit defeat on this; your last post has me even more confused, as I have no idea what to do with it or how to deploy it.
I know its a lot to ask, but would it be possible for you to write all the queries and code required into the sample database?
I realise this is kind of cheating on my part, but once I can see how the pieces fit together I'll be able to study them and rewrite them into my own db as an exercise, rather than copying from the sample. At least that way I'll be able to get familiar with the various concepts. I'm not in a rush now as I can work from home over the xmas break and play with it then.
Once again, thanks for your asistance and have a verry merry Xmas and a happy New Year.
