Aide is correct, comes from "aide-de-camp".

Hopefully someone will verify above. Where are you Tuesday?

Sorry for leading you astray on my first post but I was only going by memory.
btw. "OAKS" as submitted by Mrs. Green is also correct.

Yeah yeah, sure sure.. you just don't want anyone to think you were actually caught out for a change Just kidding :wink:

You are a cheeky little 'badger' Mrs. Green.

Dear Dutchy and Mrs Green 663
Thanks heaps. much appreciated.
cheers

Good to see ya!
