...no Jim ...having done that type of writing successfully in a highly
competitive environment, I'm fully appreciative of the time, effort, and
skill it requires to make a difficult technical subject both readable and
useful ...its too bad the authors of the MS Access security white papers
didn't, imnsho, even try ...back to you :)
