Authors' Acknowledgments
No book is the product of one person, even if one person has the title of author and gets to have his or her name on the cover. Im very lucky to have a lot of people I can thank for all the hard work and effort they put into this book. They include Kyle Looper and Pat OBrien.
Id also like to thank the many people who provided me with the wonderful Access tools and add-ons so that I could give you an idea about how you can get even more from Access. Please do check out the Web sites I list for these great products you owe it to yourself to see how much more productive you can be.
We cant work without a functioning computer, so special thanks go out to Allison Wagda at ZoneLabs for providing ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. I sleep a lot better at night knowing that I dont have to worry about viruses and spyware, and I hope all my readers realize the importance of this type of protection.
Finally, many thanks to Fred Holabird of Holabird Americana, www.holabirdamericana.com, for allowing me to use samples from the Holabird Americana databases in order to be able to show some real-world examples in this book. Fred is a good friend and Ill always be grateful for his help!
