[AccessD] I Need Some Ideas

..with Harkins, Colby, and Martin among others here already published, the 
idea of an "AccessD" book with you doing the grunt work and using the list 
members as your resource and critic, getting approval shouldn't be a problem 
..if just the list members bought copies, and you gave AccessD a share of 
the profits, it should put a cushion under the list finances for quite a 
while ...besides which, think how a really good Access book would look on 
your resume :)
