Bob,
Thanks for the info, and I have heeded most of this advice already. I did it in
the last 2 weeks and all went really well, but only because I had "heads up"
info from the forum and realised the importance of getting it right. I also had
Kingsley Hurst with me in week 1 of my holidays, and together we worked on the
initial setup. He basically was very pedantic about this setup and whilst we
didn't do it together, only the initial setup, he set the tone on the
importance of going slowly at this stage and getting it right. This is one of
the most important setups in the whole project I reckon. Thanks again for your
input.
