About the Technical Editor
Doug Steele has been working with computers, both mainframe and PC, for almost 40 years. (Yes,
he did use punch cards in the beginning!) For over 30 years, Doug has worked for a large interna-
tional oil company. Databases and data modeling have been his focus for most of that time, although
recently he has been working on a desktop project that will roll out Windows 7 to about 100,000
computers worldwide. Doug has authored numerous articles on Access, and has been recognized
by Microsoft as an MVP (Most Valuable Professional) for more than ten years.
Doug holds a master’s degree in system design engineering from the University of Waterloo, where
his research centered around designing user interfaces for nontraditional computer users. This research
stemmed from his background in music. (He holds an associateship in piano performance from the
Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.) Doug can be reached at [email protected].
