[AccessD] Onenote

Thanks.

One of the concepts of development is to store things 
together.  Whether related functions, code that goes in a 
class, all the stuff in an MDB, a project for .Net, we are 
accustomed to placing all the "stuff" for a project in a 
folder on the disk for that project.

I want to use OneNote to document projects.  It really is 
pretty nice for that because you can insert so many 
different things into OneNote pages.  However I want to then 
be able to locate all of that documentation directly in the 
directory that the rest of the project files are in.  If I 
want to give the project to someone, I should not have to 
remember to go find the OneNote stuff and put that stuff in 
the package.

Is that too much to ask?
