Thanks for trying, and thanks to Rob for the links as well.

Perhaps i've missed something but I think those links were for PHP/MySQL hosting anyhow - perhaps some alter-being is trying to give me a 'hint' to stop using MS products?!

I'm sure it wouldn't kill me to learn Php/MySql but since I'm currently assigned an IIS5/Sql Server project at work I hoped this 'slight' hobbyist project would provide some overlap with benefits both ways, perhaps though, I do need to get a grip with the former?
