Travis....

Thanks for that. The DP looks very interesting.

I use the Base data sources (linked to postgreSQL) a lot as an input into Pivot
tables, but sometimes its overkill to set up a base file to a backend, register
it and the use it - especially where the backend database is 'remote'.

The DP feature would be great but needs ways more work I suspect.

Like you I'd be happy to help in testing features documentation etc.
