Tennessee.
Like "T*" would match any word that starts with T.

- link
- Web page: Text or an image that when clicked
opens a new web page or performs an action.
- Access Table: Access can connect to a table in
another Access database or to data in a another program.
The outside table is "linked" to the database.
- linked object
- An object that will be updated if the original object
changes. The
source must be available, however, for this to happen.
Databases may have links to tables in other databases.
These tables will not be available if either of the
databases has moved. Linked objects that are part of
records, such as photos, are included in the database.
They will update if the original photos changes. Linking
to photos does not reduce the size of the database.
- Linked Table Manager
- A tool in Access for managing the links to tables
outside of Access. If the links are broken, you must use
the Linked Table Manager to relink.

managing the list.
