Carey,

I had this WORKING under Office XP!! My screensaver WAS
password protected when starting the screensaver from the
shortcut provided with the Office XP toolbar.

It is only if you create the shortcut yourself that the
password protection doesn't work. My query was "how do I
get it working under Office 2003?" as I have had it
working under Office XP.

Many thanks
