OLAP = OnLine Analytic Processing - basically, making decision cubes and
manipulating them.
MSSQL7 has a "module" to do this, but it works with any ADO driver - well,
it works with Access and MSSQL7 or 6.5, which was all I tried it on.
Its quite nice, tho the learning curve is quite steep.

disappoint the ladies in the village? --Alexi Sayle
