Thanks for the offer
Ill get back to you via email if thats all right.
I scanned Bernds reply before I went to work so I had a play with the data.
I think I will be able to do it myself but I will send you the files anyway.
What I need to do before this all matters is get a linux point of sale
program working, tested, retested and triple tested as this is my
livelyhood. (I have 3 i'm trying/testing at the moment) 

Cheers and thanks all for the reply's
