Over the past decade or so we have developed methods [1] that now allow accurate two-electron solutions of the full-dimensionality Time-dependent Schroedinger equation to be constructed and temporally followed as they evolve on the attosecond time-scale. A survey of the achievements of this work will be presented. These range from the prediction of Double Above Threshold Ionisation [2] brought about by intense light in the EUV; through the prediction of uni-lateral double ionization by longer wavelength light [3] to the prediction of a surprising energy-partition between the two electrons ionizing as a result of a recollision process at Ti:sapphire wavelengths [4]. The talk will go on to describe new theoretical investigations pertinent to the imminently-available XFEL sources and also to FEL and IR lasers in combination. \newline References: \newline [1] Smyth ES, Parker JS and Taylor KT Comput Phys Commun 114 1 (1998) \newline [2] Parker JS, Moore LR, Meharg KJ, Dundas D and Taylor KT.
