As new as the mouse was, so was the idea ofkeeping a database on a computer that could fit on your desk-- and Laurie's been there through every new version ofAccess -- as Office has evolved to meet the needs of usersfrom all walks of life -- from individuals to hugecorporations, from growing business to non-profitorganizations.
