Finally, time to think and post properly!
GEOFF,
Thank you ... for all the time and effort with getting the PM problem fixed. BTW, was this only a problem with MY PM messaging, or were others having that problem too? If it's just "my problem" then its my computer probably and there's nothing I can do to change that in the foreseeable future.

I'd just like to know if it's "my problem" in which case I apologize for putting you through the trouble. Its either use what I have, or no access at all
Thanks loads.
