Barrie,

Thanks for this help.

I use a Mac, usually accessing Free BMD with Firefox. Usually that
works for images and for all the site offers. However on this
occasion it didn't. I then found that the link to the image worked
with Safari. Very strange!

Congratulations though on a first rate site!

Peter
