Yes,

That fixed it.

Another problem I have now found is that when I try and play a recording 
on a linux pc, none of the players I have so far tried will ask for a 
userid and password when attempting to play the file (Windows Media 
Player does), instead they crash. Is there a way of including a userid & 
password in the asx file?
