thanks big j - but theres something im not too sure about here. when you try to find something on the database, does it only recognise certain phrases for each song or any phrase from a song? for instance in this case i couldnt remember the name 'Mcleod' to put in but could remember other things like 'i will go' but still couldnt find this song. am i missing something vital here and being really stupid.... ???ivy b*
