Error message - any idea?

Sounds like the database import didnt go over well and is missing that field from the table sys_page_compose.

I can take a look if you want ... 

Thanks Jay, Ive cleared and uploaded the sql database a few times with same result each time! Normally this works without problems. 

What access do you need?

Thanks  

although I noticed when checking database size, the original is slightly larger than the one copied across.

What settings in the import SQL process would prevent some data copying across?

Dont worry, fixed :-)

Note that if using phpMyAdmin, large databases don't always import properly.  When importing databases, I use the tool in webmin to import the database instead of phpMyAdmin because of this problem.  You can also use a php script to connect to the database and upload the export file; I have done that as well on shared hosts where I did not have another tool to use.
