Hi Wim
I've re-installed GB and the problem has corrected itself. I don't know the
Hows, Whys or Whens of what went wrong but it's OK now. When I was
experimenting over the network I have got some entries in the Select Media
box of the database which now refer to the wrong file path. They aren't
causing any problems but can I remove them?
Cheers
Alan
