I probably should have mentioned that even though LO v3.5.x killed my 
spreadsheet performance, I still use v3.5.x because....I like it. So I 
found a somewhat palatable work-around. I'm perfectly happy to be a 
power user and fan boy rolled into one!

I'd disagree that the time of spreadsheets (even complex ones) is over, 
though. There will always be people like me that evolve what starts out 
as a simple spreadsheet to track a few items...into something that is 
ridiculously complex and should really be ported to a true database 
engine! :-)
