The Microsoft Office support web site used to have a terrific series of pages titled “Northwind Traders Tasks”. These pages described, in great detail, how many of the interesting features of the database were done. I haven’t seen these pages since shortly before the release of Office 2007. Is there any plan to bring this back?
