[AccessD] Every 100th record

And for the record, by the time I index this database it will be well over a
terabyte.  If I end up merging in their other databases it will be several
terabytes.

For the record I think it was me who applied the term VLDB to his db :D.
Even thow I've been my dept's DBA for the last 3 years, I have not run into
any company database that touches the Millions of records, the only tables
that I have that contain a near enough number of consequential tables,
