Hi

Ok this was a mixture of me being a tad dull:

1) I used Notepad to edit the file CONFIGURE.PHP and it looked like an old style UNIX text file i.e. no CR's - used Notepad++ (an excellent editor) and it is fine.

2) My live system has database pre-fixes and my development system didnt - it does now!

Many thanks to yellow1912 & TShooters for excellent responses.

We live and learn (at least we should!)

Regards

Melks
