Michael I'm afraid that this time the changes were nothing short of perfection! Many, many thanks for your time and persistence in ironing this out for me. You are a credit to the Snitz forum.
All tests on both new topic and reply etc worked like a charm. I am in your debt and can't thank you enough.
Cheers.
Anton

You're welcome, Anton. We would have sorted this out a lot faster if I'd have the ASPSmartUpload component available on a server for testing this before providing the code.
