Hi Murray,

I am always learning new things.  I have done a lot in Lotus
Approach, but it has been abandoned by IBM.

I was asking the above as I was doing cold walk ins looking
for work and came across a customer with an Access 2000
that wouldn't work in the new M$ Office.  He showed it to me
and it look like a simple one page form.  The form did not
look like it has any linked databases either.  So really
simple.  And, I need the work.

Thank you for helping me with this,
