That's one knocked over then, glad I asked before coding, just need to fix the odd-one-out: adm1026, to match the others then. Much less work. So I don't have vrm, therfore I don't need to scale vid, that's the logical reduction I've been trying to reach. Why am I scaling a value when nothing can write access vrm? Yeah, I'm missing something, too late, localtime... Cheers, Grant.
