Hi Christopher,
Thank you for the reply - I appreciate it allot.
So I have done all discussed - you did indeed understand me correctly. All seems to have worked fine. I did cut and paste, and not copy and paste, as there was not enough disk space otherwise but all worked great all the same.
I can confirm changing drive letters has sorted my issue over paths - so this worked as I had hoped it would.
I have made a purchase of a licence. Great stuff - thank you.
