  This was a very difficult project for anyone to undertake, due to its complex nature, and lack of existing documentation.

Pat completed with flying colors, providing a full, feature rich solution, with constant feedback, support and enthusiasm.

I can 100% recommend Pat.

Once again, thanks alot

Jim
