yes, thanks for that suggestion. I was 'kinda feared' you might suggest that. I think I would need some very solid documentation to go that way. What flummexes me most there is the multitude of methods available that house the relatively modest functions I need. I remember using VBA from my days with MSAccess, but our LO/Linux world has such an 'embarrassment of riches' I don't quite know where to start. You could say I'm a bit intimidated by the idea. Any suggestions where I might start?
