Hi David,
DP> Ah, Alan Simpson! He taught in San Diego when I was first learning
DP> dBASE. Nice fellow and a good instructor. He did a book on Lotus
DP> 1-2-3, too, if I
DP> remember correctly. Quite prolific -- as is Miriam. Although I
DP> prefer Miriam's works to Alan's, I still have fond memories of his
DP> classes.
You were in this guy's class???? Yes, he is a good writer. Too bad he
didn't write anything (that I know of) for FoxPro. He also wrote the
first Mastering Access book (for V1.0) as well cause I bought it. And
I believe you're right about a 1-2-3 book because I vaguely remember
looking at a 1-2-3 language book by him.
When I was browsing Miriam's Access book, I noticed no more "National
Widgets" (her fictional company that I would see in all her books).
She's still one of my favourites!
Have a good one,
Abb
