Oh yeah, that reminds me, at the last Access Users Group of San Diego, I did
a coop presentation with two other folks about deploying run-times.  As part
of it I showed how to generate error handlers for every module - something
you need in a run time deployment - not mine of course, but John Colby's.
Put his name and web site up on the white board, of course.

John - hope you got some action from that!

I try to do a quickie presentation at the AUGSD meeting every month called
Coder's Corner - a coding tip of some kind.  And I always preface my tip by
saying that it's not my work.  Someone else showed me this and it's
generally from AccessD.  (I always tout AccessD every time I do a Coder's
Corner).

So I guess I second Martin - the list has made my business.  Just this week,
I got a couple of questions answered.
