FWIW, the Egghead outlets around the D.C. area are stacked to the gills
with copies of Access as of about a week ago.  

Also FWIW, _PC_Leak_ reports that MS is preparing a maintenance release
of Access within the next few months to fix the usual slew of problems
you expect to find in release 1.0 of any product.  The same issue reports
that Microsoft and Novell are back at their hammer-and-tongs slugfest,
this time over the DLL for BTRIEVE which was included with Access.  Novell
says that MS had no legal right to distribute the file, and MS says that
they did; in any case MS has announced that they will cease to distribute
the file in future packages of 1.0 Access.
