Ahh this is a great resource - thank you for the pointer :) I did find your 
site on my travels - the VSPrj2make add-in - but didn't find this ...

The stuff on that page seems to be focussed on desktop application development 
rather than Web .aspx development - are there other pointers I should bear in 
mind?

Either way, it sounds hopeful we can buy a few copies of the Standard edition, 
and if it turns out that we /do/ need the Developer edition, then the 
'wasted' amount is negligible... 

I'd much rather do it that way than spend £10k on Developer software to find 
we could have managed with £500-worth :D

Cheers,
Gavin.
