Harvey: I wish I could help directly. Apress owns that book and we (Wrox) are prohibited from providing it to you. If you go to the Apress book code download site, you'll find the book listed there. It's page does include the code download and I've downloaded it and confirmed sailors.mdb is in the zip. Hopefully that will save your book from a firey death.
