Re: Magic Item Database

[Wright Frazier <khelek>]

See previous mail for online thing.

re: burning time for it now.  Do as I suggested in a previous email and
download the word doc submission sheet, fill it out, and email it back
to me and I'll enter it into the book.

The online submission as I said might take some fairly hefty VB coding,
never something pleasent, so it might be awhile.

re: This db and old one.  This one is using MS Access, a program about
everyone has access too.  It has almost all of the same features as
Dan's, but is a bit easier to work with, and if someone else wants
to keep it, porting it over won't be near the problem as the current one.
