Glenda,

Thank you so much for all this information.  I'll file it away,
and you may hear from me once we get acquisitions up and
running.  I'm trying to figure out a decent workflow for just 2
of us plus a student so that I'm not doing 1-minutes tasks all
day long.  We all work reference, too, and I'd like a little time
to think, keep up with new trends, etc., as well!

Thanks again.
