Yes, and I got a call from my mate a couple of hours ago, he tried laoding the file again from a stick instead of as an email attachment and it worked. I was thinking the problem was one involving the original permissions on the data he had sent me initially, and it was probably that. Anyway it is all running well now. Thanks.
The latest version of FM7 is 11 or 12, and they finally added charting, which I sorely wanted. I will have to go and buy that one now.
