Warren, I will try a few things this end like you said. Im certain its a config / "not so blank" server that we are publishing on thats breaking things... :-) My sincerest thanks once more, as you have indeed been a great help / learning experience. Ill keep on with the trial version for now, as it works fine without profiling it... :-) Regards James > Date: Mon, 25 May 2009 12:03:54 +1000 > From: caditc@xxxxxxxxxx > To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [THIN] Re: Streaming MYOB > > Hi James > > that's unfortunate that our testing still didn't help you.
