Hmm, had not worried much about the file its self. Other than it being a 
protected document, with only the cells that need changing frequently being 
unlocked. BTW I personally will have no need to have the password for the 
main document. Nor much need for the unprotected content.

Will investagate the Samba angle. Only have a single LAN at home, but do have 
three Linux boxes and a Windows box. Had not considered that one of the two 
with server installed was giving access to (shared) files on the third to the 
Windows. This could seriously complacate things.

Thanks! And Mike too! Yours is longer and it's bed time...
