The protection on the software is such that they cannot gain access any other way except correctly guessing or knowing a password.

yes it was Hel's the last time, it has only happened the once Dwight, but we thought we couldn't take any more risks!!! I have just trailed through all of the emails Hels and I sent and my number and address is on the PM's as is Hel's Anyway too late now, I think trust has gone and not sure of anyone wants to come back on to the forum after what has happened!!! Perhaps Hel's and I can ask them, with the assurance that it is completely safe now!!!
