  QBE Insurance profit jumps after acquisitions - Marketplace by Bloomberg - International Herald Tribune
Equal in capacity, QBE and Amlin are the two biggest underwriters at Lloyd's of London, the world's largest insurance market, where QBE manages 1 billion pounds, or $1.9 billion, of underwriting capacity this year, up 2.6 percent from 2005.
QBE purchased Nordic Aviation Insurance, based in Copenhagen, in March and hired five general aviation underwriters in London, mostly from Allianz, in the first quarter of this year, adding 150 million dollars of premium income in 2007.
QBE is "on target" to lift premium income by 10 percent to 10.3 billion dollars in the full year, even without purchasing competitors, as overall policy prices increase by about 7 percent, O'Halloran said.

 Ars Technica: The Aqcess Qbe Cirrus - Page 2 - (9/2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
If there was one thing that consistently annoyed me about the Qbe, it was the fact that its highly reflective nature required me to keep the unit almost perpendicular to my line of vision, and even then, I had to position it out of the path of any lighting object that it would pick up.
With the Qbe, the positioning of the tablet always affects the position of your hand as you enter data.
While I wouldn't require that the Qbe rest at a perpendicular angle to my desk, the slant as it is now means that my view is obscured, and what's worse, everything on my ceiling is reflecting right onto my screen.

When you designed "Buncombe_Query" on the QBE grid, you dragged all the fields for the table "Customers" onto the grid, found the column [CountyName], and under conditions, added: ="Buncombe".
That means you must "hard-code" a bunch of QBE queries in advance, one for each county.
