They did emphasise that the data would be held in the EU, but this was in relation to the Data Protection Act - presumably they saw this as a selling point to some of their customers.Dave Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04948172077813364862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631200414899554974.post-34701746415162929992011-07-01T09:08:10.576+01:002011-07-01T09:08:10.576+01:00Hi Glen
