Presented by: Rick Lunetta, Luna Systems Corporation, (RickL@lunasystems.com) ***************************************** THE ACCESS TRAUMA CENTER 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm ***************************************** Presented by: John Giuliano, Stone-Crowne Associates, (Stone-Crowne@msn.com) Does Access depress you at times? Do you bang your head against the wall trying to get Access to do things that are common functions in other applications? Does your blood pressure rise trying to format reports to look just like the boss's old favorites? Does the mere thought of opening the code window give you anxiety attacks? We have just what the doctor ordered. -- "The Access Trauma Center" Each month from 4:30 to 5:30 we will solve (or try to solve) problems posed by the audience. The hour will be broken up into different segments: 'Triage' (5 minutes) -- Here we poll the audience for pressing and perplexing problems to solve. (Please no "nice to know" questions. Our goal will be to help the suffering victims of Access.) 'Emergency Surgery' (45 minutes) - Here we diagnose the problems and find working solutions. We will build forms, reports, and code modules that demonstrate methods discussed. No cosmetic surgery will be performed here. Emergency surgery is not pretty. Expect ugly forms and reports. If you have a weak stomach, it may be best to retire to the waiting room. Copies of the working solutions and code will be available for any who request such. 'Is The Patient Still Breathing?' (5 minutes) - Q&A dealing with quick verbal solutions to problems that did not require on-screen demonstrations of solutions. 'Doctor, It Hurts When I Do This...' (5 minutes) - A short session on things to watch out for as you develop applications. Each month we will discuss different topics. Did we mention we are also a research facility? In the event of too few questions, a topic vital to the health and well-being of all intermediate level Access Users will be covered. ************************************ MICROSOFT ACCESS User Group 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm ************************************ "Pre-Game Show" ************************************ MICROSOFT ACCESS User Group 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm ************************************ "The Integration Between Access and FrontPage" Developing database enabled web applications.
