[AccessD] For Money or Love

Gustav,

"Should you feel we - the long time listers to whom I humbly count myself -
can be of any assistance regarding your Access-related work, I'm sure you
can count us in."

I concur - any help you need do not hesitate to ask...

Vlad

Hi Arthur

Thanks for letting us know ... I had noticed you recently have been absent
in periods but thought that was due to a busy project or similar. 

I'm impressed how you handle this last "project" of yours; on the other hand
- given your deep experience you so often have exposed here
- how could it be different?

Well, this day certainly turned out differently than expected. Should you
feel we - the long time listers to whom I humbly count myself - can be of
any assistance regarding your Access-related work, I'm sure you can count us
in. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if you already have
arrangements settled for this.

I hope you'll have some really nice days in Ireland and Paris, not only
revisiting known places but having new experiences as well.
