databases (Access 97/2000 in particular). Can anyone
recommend a good book?>>
Woody Leonhard has written marvelously useful, very well-
received books on all aspects of the Microsoft Office. His
current books can probably be found at www.wopr.com and
by doing a search at any of the usual suspects (e.g., Amazon).
I have no experience with his Office books, but he sells a
shipload of them, and his "Word97 Annoyances" is a
marvelous book, and a must-have for anyone who needs to
do battle with Word daily.

"Perhaps there is something deep and profound behind all those sevens, something just calling out for us to discover it. But I
suspect
that it is only a pernicious, Pythagorean coincidence." George Miller, "The Magical Number Seven" (1956)
