Ghudson I love you, sorry people, I thought I would need a whole load of code but you have just made me very very happy, this means that no one can import my back end data! Wo hooooooo lol sorry im about to get up and dance around my office!

Thanks, So my main menu that is a form with links etc. is a switchboard? I thought that it had some big thing in it that made it unique, something that could not easily be recreated, oh well, thank you though, as they say you learn something new everyday! lol
