NOTE: Due to a scheduling conflict, Mark Nevin is unable to deliver his
presentation on Access Replication this month.  In his stead, Ed Craddock has
graciously agreed to present his Sand and Gravel application.  Ed was scheduled
to make this presentation last month, but relinquished the stage to Russ Ganz in
order to hear more about ASP .NET 2.0.
Mark Nevin has agreed to return next month to favor us with his discussion on
Access replication.

Here is the Agenda for Access Day:

INTRODUCTION TO ACCESS

subreports, as well as some advanced techniques and alternative methods for
accomplishing the same result.

data.
