  Most of this sounds just like the features added in lotus 123 version
3 and above.  The search part will probably require work writing some
(better) macros, but linking the spreadsheets is what it's all about
isn't it ?
  The alternate case I guess may be a recommendation///////////// no make
that a suggestion to look at dbase.  I neither confirm nor deny, but
see that it's popular in the marketplace.
