Yeah, thanks Deivy. That was the plain text solution I first came up with. The problem is they want rich text.

I think the 'save PDF’ idea is looking like the best bet for my purposes so far (in the sense that’s what I think the users concerned will find most agreeable, but we’ll see!).

Thanks go also to Yvan for continuing to get that TextEdit script working.

Simon, argh..there’s no ‘export to PDF’ huh? Oops, I must have been confusing Safari with something else (wasn’t on my Mac when I typed that).

Now, I don’t suppose any of you guys know anything about reading sql caches do you, or a free scriptable and sql database reader?....jeez, is it Friday? Never mind,  maybe I’ll save that one for another day!

Have a good weekend all. Thanks again for your responses and valuable time. Both useful and educational, and most certainly highly appreciated!

Best


Phil
