Brilliant - thanks. However, just to cause trouble... ;-) Can you clarify whether it's just the frequency of the graphing that is controlled by that, or is it the graphing *and* the update of the databases themselves? Although the graphs aren't critical to update frequently, I would have th

Sounds like a cunning plan - and as I've been wanting to do some modifications to the graphs (size, scales etc) I could incorporate that. The major headache would, however, be the administration as you point out. Would you be willing to share your spreadsheet/macros? Of course, an even better
