ADDBOOK.MDB is a business and personal address book database 
with two main tables (Company Addresses and Personal Addresses) 
and three small related tables containing Business Category, 
Hardware and Software Information.  An AutoExec macro offers 
you a choice of the Business or Personal data entry form, and 
you can switch between forms with buttons.  A Contacts query 
selects persons from the Personal Addresses table who have an 
entry for ID, and displays them on a Contacts form (you can 
switch from this form to the Personal Addresses form if you 
want to see the contact's home address).

There are several reports for letter-sized paper, two mailing 
labels reports (Avery #5160 and #5161) and also rolodex reports 
which print on Avery #5385 laser rolodex cards.

The forms feature command buttons for applying filters, a 
record selector combo box (which picks up the form's filter, if 
any), automatic formatting of phone numbers, pseudo-embedded 
labels, and pop-up hardware and software forms (the buttons for 
these forms are only enabled for companies in the Computer 
category).  They were designed for high-resolution displays 
(the labels in the "embedded label" controls are in 6 pt type).

The reports illustrate extensive use of Iif functions to 
prevent blank rows, and the rolodex reports have embedded 
graphics (HiJaak/Win OLE object).

A BatchExport macro creates dBASE tables by means of several 
make-table queries.  These tables can be used to create YourWay 
3.0 cardfiles, using the enclosed YWCARDS.WBT (a Norton Desktop 
Batch Runner batch file), or used to import into any program 
that uses dBASE databases.  (Starter .DBF and .YDB files are 
included in the zip file.)  Before using this macro or batch 
file, change the path names to match your computer setup.

This database was designed by Helen Feddema, author of Inside 
Microsoft Access (New Riders Publishing), and contributor to 
Access Advisor and Smart Access magazines.
