[AccessD] I Need Some Ideas

One of my favorite Access books was "Access 95 How-To" by Ken Getz and Paul
Litwin. It was updated and re-released as the "Access Cookbook" by O'Reilly
in 2002. This book posed a problem and provided the solution together with a
detailed explanation. No extraneous junk. The reason I bring this up is that
I think an AccessD book organized along the same lines would make a
fantastic project. After all, the archives have hundreds of solution
unavailable elsewhere. AccessD could receive royalties along with the author
to allow the group to continue paying its modest bills. I presume releases
would be required from posters since some material (such as John's framework
tutorials) are intended for publication in their own book. As the authors on
this list can attest no book is an "easy" project but I think this would be
a win for AccessD, developers, and the author willing to take on the job. My
2 cents.

How about a master table-linker service?  Create a service that can be run
on any machine in the network, which 'knows' the location of all linked
tables.  One module in the database runs at startup, 'scans' the network for
the 'server' which tells it if it needs to relink it's tables or not.

I've got code for the scanning portion.....

I have found myself in a situation that gives me an inordinate amount 
of free time and I'm looking for some ideas to fill my time.

I am thinking of something that would make development easier or a 
specifc app that would greatly help developers. I need something to 
keep my mind active and fingers busy :)

It can be anything from Access to Word to Excel (Office 2K), even VB 
6.

I'm open to any and all suggestion. And If I can learn something new, 
that would be even better.

Let the flood gates open :-)
