not sure if that's quite what I was looking for but I very much
appreciate your reply.

What if we want to allow any one of five people to update ANY record
in the db provided they have a password as verified by 'password_tbl'.
The entries won't have any password associate but when someone does an
update, we want to know who did it and write it to the database in the
'updater' field accordingly - thanks...
