[AccessD] Ten most common tasks/problems in Access

Thanks, Stuart. I'll add these to my list. I haven't ever written a DLL,
and until now was under the obviously mistaken impression that you had to
write them in C++ or C#. I didn't know you could do it in Power Basic.

I have heard of blat but know nothing about it. What does it give you that
other emailers don't? (I.e. why did you choose it against, say, integration
with Outlook?)
