Hello again Alex
Having spent some more time on this I discovered that an external data entry page allows entry of records by all and sundry without any form of password protection.
In view of this and the lack of built in search facility I have abandoned thoughts of handling Form Tools activities on external pages and have opted instead for internal forms, those within Form Tools itself. This should not be a problem as my requirements are for a simple database, not a highly complex one.
I found it fairly straightforward to copy a theme and change the top of the page banner to something appropriate (for me) and I would expect that I can locate other adjustments in one or other of the css files for the page layout tweaks I have in mind. These are primarily to explore reducing the width of the navigation panel and allowing a greater overall page width for the table views.
It may well be appropriate, then, for this thread to close down.
Thank you again for your help, it is much appreciated.
John
