Thanks Ed.

Indeed i'm not sure then if i am entitled to the latest release although 
we have it installed on many other platforms. The issue i have is i 
don't handle purchasing or quoting and am just an engineer who 
designs,implements,supports stuff.

I'll feed  this back through the chain though and let someone above make 
the decision.

Thanks for input

Dave
