These things generate way too many support calls for my liking. Buy Tosh Satellite Pro or Dell Latitude. HP Omnibook is good also. My real opinion? Buy Office for the Mac.

There doesn't seem to be a useful way to use Access files on a Mac (since the jet.dll engine doesn't run on Macs nor have a Mac version) and a file translation capability doesn't seem to exist. I'll mention the Virtual PC option again and look at the Toshiba notebooks. Thanks. :-) Cheers, Scott.

Access is (all together now) EEEEEEEVIIIIIIL. Peter Shill For Hire [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]

I propose demotion to ~ Token-Shill-like. :-\ufffd (Thanks again for the O'Reilly book tip. If I could just find one which starts from the presumption: 'you do not want to even think about AD, so we'll cut the size and asides by 60%' - I'd be, well.. ecstatic is a stretch.) Ashton
