Hi Roger.
Thanks for the Maplands advice. I'll get Pauline to help me check this and
also the SVP url provided by Sandra out tonight.
The 4 GB Thumb Drive was purchased at Priceless in Glasgow. I got it about
two months ago and have experienced no difficulties with it. Not bad for
the price. I'd normally burn a DVD to hold this amount of data.
Best wishes.
Andy
