[AccessD] Ten most common tasks/problems in Access

Yep with PB  you can build "industry standard" DLLs  exactly the same as those created with 
C, C++, C#, MASM etc.   No need to "register" them or to have any fancy installation 
procedure - just copy to a suitable location and use them.

Blat does not depend on a specific (or any) email client and does not rely on the identity of 
the logged in user - so you can use it to automate emails from any address you want running 
scheduled tasks on a server for example, even if there is no email client installed on the 
machine.    I've used it in some organisations that don't use Outlook/Exchange at all.
