Hi Chris
Many thanks for my Xmas present
It never occurred to me to use Quick Styles - in fact I tend to forget they exist!
2 minutes work & I have exactly what I wanted!
The hover colour bit was also easy
Definitely worth giving you more RPs but the forum rules won't let me do so again
So all I can do is to say a very merry Xmas to you as well Chris
EDIT: Now if you can also help me retrieve my own code from an accde file where I've deleted the original accdb, I'll know for sure Santa Claus exists ...
