Interesting comments in here. Thanks for the suggestions - just waiting for my friend to take a look but I think honosuseri has recommended the winner.

I'm sure I will update you once he makes a decision.

Unfortunately this week only has expired, he had hoped it would be ok for today.

He's suggested the following - can anyone see anything wrong with this?

Thanks
