Sorry, I thought the BWI Systems (UK) logo may give away who I work for ) I used to work for a school in Sheffield, but now run my own IT consultancy. Sorry if this wasn't clear.

Hiya Just thought you might be interested, but a well established SME IT supplier is now supporting the education market. Highlander UK based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire are trying to get into the local market (South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire) and are certainly worth a try if you ever need any quotes for equipment. I've dealt with them a couple of times recently and are willing to go that extra step to ensure your happy with the price and the product/service. http://www.highlanderuk.net

Make sure that the person or persons running SIMS.NET have local 'Power User' rights on the workstation, and that they have read/write/create permissions to the local SIMS.NET folder and the root directory of C: That should solve your problem. If not, then let me know. Cheers
