Vincent,

   I suspect this file is in the current Access version.

   Of course. :-) But, I don't know anyone (other than my sister) who uses
Windoze so I decided to look for a different data set.

   The specific data do not matter, I need them for sample analyses for a
short course I'll be offering. My only criteria are the data be
environmental rather than economic, medical, or social and that I do not use
any client's data.

   There's lots of public domain data on the Web so I'll find something
useful.

Much appreciated,

Rich
