Hi Diki,
Thanks for that - no i haven't got the session manager - even more fun to be had then! (the USB extension leads arrived next day - Royal mail excelled! have daisy chained 2 together = 30ft to G70 downstairs the DB manager works great - unfortunately it was delivered early this morning and in eagerness i tried it out whilst half asleep and exported an old DB to G70 and overwrote tons of UPGs! ... back to almost a blank canvass - but understand how to use it now - i hope!)
