Hi Mate,

Thanks heaps for the reply!

I was using the sa account, so I don't think permissions are an issue - happy to be told otherwise.

I found this article the other day which explains a similar problem (better than I have) but didn't seem to solve it.

This article doesn't seem to mention functions, perhaps that the difference?
