Hi Carol. I was in Glasgow today and purchased an inter-connect cable for both computers. I'll not get a chance to try this out until early next week as I have a friend visiting for the weekend, and will probably not get a chance. to try it out. I've got a tutorial from Rick from the BCT list and will try my best to follow this next week. Best wishes. Andy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 10:32 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Transferring files to new computer > Hi Andy, > > No, I haven't heard the tutorial you mention.
