I just finished writing Professional Access 2007 for Apress. This is not an ad. I just wanted to thank the following individuals and this list in general for all the assistance I received when writing this book. from people reading and commenting chapters to individuals testing code to people who allowed me to reuse their code adn indeed in John and Drews case their class postings. If I have left your name out  forgive me. So in no order thank you to the following 
 
John Colby for code and writing and trying to teach me about classes
Marty Connelly for amazing examples. and teaching
AD for permissions and being a gentleman
Drew for code and writing and classes
Rocky for permissions and review and being a friend
Shamil for code (GUIDs)
Steve for reveiw
 
Others whose code I have put into the book will see their name in print at some point in the book  and a big thank you to all. Many books begin with thanks and I could not have done it without you statements. In this case that is so true, I would never have finished this book where it not for this list and the unselfish actions of its many members. 
 
Overall the book is my creation (with exceptions mentioned) I hope it is well received it took 8 months of work every evening and contains what I think are pointers to the direction Access is going. Its dosnt contain mind blowing code examples, nothing new or origional (excepts Marty Connellys example) but its my first book "alone" and personally whatever the amazon reviews say I will be proud of it. I cant of course forgot Susan Harkins whose fault this all is.
 
Finally in the immortal words of Rocky
 
"Yo Adrian I DID IT"
