Graphic Designer who knows Microsoft Access/VBA?

I am a graphic designer at a distributing company who has (mostly) automated most parts of his job. I am off to grad school and need to find and train a replacement(s). We could do two part-timers, but one full-timer would be best. The more of the tasks below you can do, the better. If you can only do one half, send us your resume anyway. Here is what I currently do and the skills I use to do them: Adobe Photoshop: • Take photographs of items. (own a digital camera? a plus!) • Create clipping paths of items. • Color correct photos. (if you know who Dan Margulis is, thats a plus!) Adobe InDesign: • Lay out sales sheets. • Compile automated InDesign docs into one file and export to PDF for press. Microsoft Access: • Update Microsoft Access database from flat text files. • Construct queries. • Troubleshoot code in VBA. • Write VBA to drive Adobe InDesign. Again, the more you cross that bridge from "Creative Suite" to "Office", the better.
