Thanks Tom, your reply did make me think. Maybe instead of redoing my server I'll just have AC/Harris move the database to one of my PC's and run a Peer to Peer network. There's only 2 of us in the office my wife the front end and myself the back end so think running a Peer to Peer network should suffice, save some money and keep the 'future availability' of the records in my hands.
Hopefully your golf game, fishing and interaction with the grandkids going spectacularly.
My future hopefully will be filled with the above along with the garden and learning Swift programming.
