Thanks for the suggestions. We are running a bespoke system on the server, not a
standard database/spreadsheet app. This calls on many different apps - some of
which I would probably miss out if I tried to put them all in that list.
However it's one I'll bear in mind - the system is so locked down now that even
if they get into IE they can't go anywhere, and can't get out again!
