each line and the system calculates individual line efficiency and overall

organizer for McGriff & Company. The database keeps up with the current
status of various commercial properties around the country that are for
sale. Through the Reports feature of Access, it creates uniform data sheets
for each property for presentations to potential buyers. The Visual Basic
program uses an ADO connection to search the database and find
properties that meet criteria such as price range, location and/or property
type as requested by the potential buyer. (McGriff & Company is a
