[AccessD] Getting Desperate - Apologies for the OT message

Hi, Drew.  I'm located in Visalia, CA.  It's somewhat in the middle
of the state, about an hour north of Bakersfield.

My resume is here:  www.christopherhawkins.com/clhResume.htm

To summarize, I've been developing in Access and SQL since 1996, VB
since version 3.0, and in recent years have done work in classic ASP
and Oracle 7.3 and up for Fortune 500 firms.  The past 5 years have
been a 50/50 split betwen coding and leading teams.  The past 6
months have seen me doing a series of short contracts, mostly Access
work but also some project management.
