Many thanks for for your thoughts Ross,<br>glad to hear it works for you and you (if not the wife!) find it useful!<br><br>Thanks for your comments, I still need to have a further look at the interface (preferably having asked some friends who actually have some design skills, as opposed to my lack of). Ditto for icon, it's more of a case of not having one or the skills to do one.
