Ah. No.
I do notice that when i run up INPA i get nothing but the API error. Then if I run Tool32 and then INPA i get labels on the buttons at the bottom of the screen and then the API error.
Might be a red herring but its leading to me to think I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Seeing as there are a number of owners in this area, does anyone have any recomendations?
Right now i need some bits checking out, not convinced its running right so i figure a fault read is a good place to start. But then i will need to know someone nearby for any future work.
