   Thanks Jeff. It's been a steep learning curve, but I'm getting there slowly.

   Brilliant, just what I needed; all bases now appear to import correctly.   
      
    JS> If you can find a sysop who is willing to give you FTP access to there   
    JS> file bases OR contact the IFDC Filegate http://www.filegate.net (Janis   
    JS> Kracht) to see if you can get FTP access to "fill" your file areas.    
      
   TBH Jeff, I was more concerned about doing something wrong than actually   
   getting the files onto my system; most SysOps do a great job of serving   
   files to their users, so I'm quite happy to use their systems to   
   cherry-pick the odd file i might need.   
      
   Needless to say, your help has been very much appreciated.   
      
   Best Regards
