Hi Pat
thanks for the updates. I've uploaded these to the test server as well as my
local test install and unfortunately although the delete folder issue
appears to be resolved now when trying to delete a file the following error
occurs:

	'name_string.2' is null or not an object 
	template_management.js 	Line: 1003
	Code: 0 	Char: 13
	URI: /website_code/scripts/template_management.js
