Hey folks. Access Expert 21 is finished and, as promised, it has been online since last night. You can order it, download it, watch it in the Theater, etc. I just haven't had time to publish the full outline on the web site yet. Hopefully I'll get to that tomorrow.

I have NOT processed the Waiting List orders for it yet either, but don't worry... I'll get to that tomorrow as well. If you don't want to wait, and you want to order it NOW, go ahead. My system is programmed not to send you a 2nd copy if you already have it.

Since I don't have the FULL outline written yet, here's the topic list so you can see what's covered:

01. Import & Link Access Objects - Import forms, etc. Link to tables
02. Multi-User Database Theory - How to properly setup a network db
03. Splitting Your Database 1 - The split db wizard, shared folders
04. Splitting Your Database 2 - Multiple front and back end files
05. Record Locking - Preventing users from editing records at same time

You can order it here: ACCESS EXPERT 21
