Thanks Carolyn. Yes, you are right on the Firefox for iPad development but it is evidently imminent. On the Mac, I have used OWA on both Safari and Chrome.
Chrome - found this very unstable and often just kicked me out to the log-in page for no apparent reason. Also, even with pop-ups enabled I could not open attachements of use any of the menus........suspect this was an attemtp to push me to use GMail ?
Safari - extremely unstable and often took three or four attemtps to send a message !
So, I now have Firefox on the Mac and this is both stable and allows all OWA functions ! Looks like a good option which I used to have as a default browser in its early days. Now just can't wait for iPad version !!!!!!
Regards
