Below are pointers to pages on matters that do not relate directly to the Access, Excel, Word and VBA, subjects listed under the Tips drop-down menus to the left.

Some topics, e.g. Managing the Email Load, might interest you even if you are not a freelance or are not in IT.

I dont’t have the time to run this site as a full-time blog or to manage a comments sections. So if you want me to let you know about new topics or additions to any of the existing ones, then please let me know.
