Folks,

Martin Reid and I are writing a book for Apress which will be primarily a
"real questions with real answers" format, based on questions and solutions
found in the wisdom of this list.  We will be donating 50% of the royalties
to Database Advisors, the company that hosts AccessD and the other "accessd"
lists.  Martin and I will split the remaining 50% of the royalties.

Due to the convolutions of copyrights, we need permission to use code /
solutions in the book.  We have not finalized the method used but we will be
acknowledging the person providing the mentioned solution / code.  We will
at the least have a section of the book with something like "the following
people provided solutions to questions and problems found in this book...".
I am not sure it is possible to give credits embedded in each question /
solution, I think it would just get too big and detract from the content.

At any rate, we need permissions from anyone who is willing to allow their
solutions to appear in the book.  Please send an email to
AccessDBook at ColbyConsulting.com with a subject line of "Permission" and a
sentence stating that "I give John Colby and Martin Reid permission to use
my emails to the AccessD list in a printed book" or something similar.

Thanks,

John W. Colby
