| Hi Stefan
|
| Thanks for the tip. I'd need to open the DB connection and execute the SQL
| to use that code, and that's the bit I'm trying hard to avoid. The site is
| for a friend, a favour that's grown wings and gills (!), so I'm keen to make
| this coding as simple as possible.
|
| There are gong to be quote a few DBs in the web site s that it can be
| updated without me having to look at it again, so I'm loathe to go down the
| hard-coding route.
|
| Cheers
|
