Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here has a copy of the Royal Mail PAF, I noticed the cost is about £1,700 but was a little weary of paying out so much if it doesnt do the job or doesnt do what i want.

Anyone got any further info?

I don't know anything about this software but there is another rival that has a similar database. If I remember rightly, the company is called UK-Info and their site is at 192.com (http://www.192.com). The residential address software is about £40 and the business address software around £200.

I can't vouch for it, and it probably isn't as up-to-date as the Post Office one (which updates the CD quartely if I remember), but it might be a worthwhile, and certainly a cheaper, alternative.

Might want to remember the old adage - "you get what you pay.......":rolleyes:
