Thanks Adam,
I just tried this method & it will do what I need it to.v

I was looking at the issue in a totally different way. I seen a template being pulled into the editor, edits being made & then sent to the database. The page when pulled from the database would comeback having certain areas being populated at this time from the db. Clearly this is an uneconmic way to do things anyway as it results in two trips to the db. Once for the page & one for the page to pull any dynamic content.

 

Sometimes I guess it just takes someone to state the obvious

 

Again thanks for you help & keep up the good work

 

Stuart
