WHAT IS NOTE-IT?
----------------

  Note-it is designed for both developers and users of Microsoft Access
  version 2.0.

  As a developer, Note-it can assist you with your Access development by
  providing an effective means to document your database work. Note-it can
  be used to document work required on all aspects of your database. For
  example, you can make notes of outstanding work required on controls,
  tables, forms, macros and queries.

  Users of your Access applications can also use Note-it to make comments
  and suggestions on the application as they use it. They can print a
  report of their notes and e-mail or fax them to you for your review.
  This is a great way to get end-user feedback!

  Note-it automatically keeps track of database names and users, so more
  than one user can make notes on more than one database without getting
  them mixed up. Your notes can be prioritized and marked as "Done" or
  "Not Done". A report can be printed for review and distribution.


INSTALLATION OF NOTE-IT WITH ACCESS 2.0
---------------------------------------

STEP 1:

  To install Note It, copy the file NOTEIT.MDA into your Access directory,
  however, you may copy this file into another directory if you wish.

STEP 2:

  Edit the file MSACC20.INI  which resides in your Windows directory. You 
  should use the Notepad (Notepad usually resides in the Accessories Group)
  or another text editor of your choice. NOTE: if you use another editor, 
  the file must be saved as an ASCII text file.

  WE RECOMMEND YOU MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF MSACC20.INI BEFORE EDITING IT.

STEP 3:

  Add the following line under the "[Libraries]" header in MSACC20.INI:

    [Libraries]
    C:\ACCESS\NOTEIT.MDA=

  If you copied NOTEIT.MDA to another directory, substitute C:\ACCESS for
  that directory.

  If MSACC20.INI does not have the "[Libraries]" header, just add the
  header before another one. All headers are enclosed in [].

STEP 4:

  To make Note-it a menu Item, add the following line under the
  "[Menu Add-ins]" header:

    [Menu Add-ins]
    &Note-it==ftn_uc_open_NoteIt()

  If [Menu Add-ins] is not present, add it before another header.
  
  The menu item "Note-it" will appear in the menu bar under under 
  "File" "Add-ins".

  FOR ANY OF THESE CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT YOU MUST SAVE YOUR CHANGES
  TO MSACC20.INI, EXIT ACCESS (IF RUNNING) AND RUN ACCESS.

  You can also launch Note-it from a Macro, Form or Access Basic by running
  the predefined function ftn_uc_open_NoteIt().

You can also launch Note-it from the keyboard. This is useful when you can't
access the menu bar. To do this, create an AutoKeys macro. For detailed
instructions on how to create this macro, search the Access Help for the
keyword "AutoKeys".


INSTRUCTIONS
------------

  To use Note-it, select "File" "Add-ins" "Note-it" from the menu bar. 
  Note-it will appear as a small yellow pop-up form. The instructions to
  use Note-it is available from a pop-up help form. Use the combo box 
  located at the bottom right of the form (reads "About Note-it") to select 
  "Help". This will display a pop-up form with help information. Most 
  commands are available via this combo box.
