Thanks for the info all my questions have now been answered and I have been given lots of useful advice i will follow (especially which books are worth reading). I've found the forum very helpful so far and will definitely report back once I've got something worth reporting such as a pplh qualification. For now I'll favourite this and keep browsing and hopefully you wont mind Whirlygig if I pm you any other quick questions I have along the way.
Thanks
