    A quick look at your website doesn't reveal the CMS you are using, it doesn't appear to be either Joomla or Wordpress. The link to the site developers is unavailable. Are they no longer around to give you advice? Without knowing the CMS it is difficult to direct you, at a guess I would say...

    How much extra is the UK price? It could be that the UK price includes VAT, if you are trying to pay the US price then you will be defrauding the VATman!

    Joomla!!

    Joomla is a really good platform, and you can go a long way very quickly, though you can also spend a very long time trying to find the right extensions to give you exactly what you want! Have a good look through the Joomla showcase site: http://community.joomla.org/showcase/sites.html This...

    Two MS Access VBA Questions

    Problem 1: 'counter' is a reserved word in MS access, I suspect that it is getting confused when you run the command, and does not know what counter you are referring to. Try renaming your table to 'tblCounter' and try again! The naming prefix is a standard practice you should adopt, as it...

    Reccomend a CRM system?

    Pearl does look pretty good, but they store their (your) data on US servers! If you are registered with the ICO would this put you in breach of the data protection act? I'm not 100% sure of the rules and regs, but it is something to think about if you are going to have all your customers data...
