beer and bacon sarnies a plenty to anyone who can assist:D

We'll have to sort an evening out then.
I can sort you out with Office XP Pro (which includes Frontpage) if you need.
Only potential trouble is uploading to NTL - their servers don't seem to support direct loading from Frontpage so you have to upload using another software, and the only one that I've found to work with any success is one called 3D-FTP which is licensed and cost me about £35.

Does anybody know a freebie way to ftp to ntl webspace???

Paul, I use a freebie called AceFTP. It's pretty good.
I can send you the installation file or point you to their website, your choice. Works for me!

Thanks guys, very helpful!

Loz - send the file would be good, email adress should be logged against my details. If too large etc, then I could download from website.
