Also a small 1 meg file starts up faster than a 35 meg monster which is what I get if I include everything - the images, reports, forms etc. So I have had to keep them all external and vunerable. Also we need frequent live changes for business reasons.

This has now been moved to the FAQ section. You can read about it there.

All LAN's need to belong to a Domain. That is something that is setup by your network engineer. Ij no domain, then you need at least a Workgroup so that security can be set.

This is network stuff better explained by network experts.

Google for more info on domains or workgroups.
