Dear all,
thanks to those who replied to my original email - if you didn't see the
original its below. The 4 scenarios I listed were not necessarily
alternatives, but equally likely to occur i.e. data will be sent in via all
four methods not just by one. If you know of anything similar pleaswe let
me know
Many thanks
John
