Rightly (or wrongly) I then tried installing mono-complete from synaptics and still no joy. The programs initial database setup utility to create the tables works a charm, but trying to use the actual program to get data into SQL is still a no go. Any more pointers as I am really keen on getting rid of my final Windows box. Many thanks Gary
