[AccessD] Would you buy

Building Access Applications by John Viescas is an example of what you are
advocating (various common apps with a discussion of the accompanying code).
That book, which does not go into nearly the detail a framework discussion
would, is 700 pages.

...the whole point of your book is code reuse JC ...how can you demonstrate 
that with only one application?

...correct answer ...you can't.

...you need to think about this a bit ...it would make your book both unique

and of real use if you could demonstrate four different apps where more than

half the code is a snap-in framework.

...as for Sharepoint ...you're obviously not with the program ...its far 
more important to Access development than say, fixing four version old bugs 
in Access itself :))))
