You will learn how to get started building powerful database applications with data you already have in some other format (such as a spreadsheet). See how to quickly and easily build Access forms and reports using built-in Wizards. We will develop our first application in just two hours. *********************************** Using More Access Wizards *********************************** 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM -- Presented by Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc, (d.serrentino@ai-host.net) Find out how Access can speed up development through the use of Wizards. Create list boxes and combo boxes for use as pick lists. Build command buttons to perform dozens of functions. Wizards will even build whole forms and reports and much more. ****************************************************** Modify Wizard Code To Expand Functionality ****************************************************** 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM -- Presented by Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc, (d.serrentino@ai-host.net) Add functionality such as custom message boxes, just by changing a few characters in Wizard-built code. In this session we look at simple ways to change error messages and other popup instructions. Also demonstrated will be the use of conditional statements to respond to users' choices. **************************************************************************************** The Horror Show--A Case Study of Self-Destructive Developer Behavior **************************************************************************************** 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM -- Presented by John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates, (jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com) Why make all the mistakes yourself? Each month we will look at examples of applications that had flawed aspects in their development. We are all better off learning from the mistakes of others. The audience will participate in identifying the things that have gone terribly awry. *********************** The Trauma Center *********************** 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM -- Presented by John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates, (jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com) We spend the hour helping to debug, add enhancements, or make design recommendations. The audience is invited to bring in real world developer problems that need solving now. Bring your applications on floppy, CD, or Zip Disk. Please, no 'Nice To Know' questions. ************************************************************* Developer Level Meeting--General Announcements ************************************************************** 6:30 PM to 6:45 PM -- Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates, (jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com) During this part of the meeting we share information regarding upcoming events, Access bugs, add on products, and anything else that affects the world of the Access developer. ***************************************************************** First Presentation-- Introduction to Data Access Pages ***************************************************************** 6:45 PM to 7:30 PM -- Presented by Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc, (d.serrentino@ai-host.net) This is the first in our 6 part series 'Access and The Internet'. Demonstrated will be how to begin using the Data Pages in Microsoft® Access to display and update data. We'll also look at when and when not to use these Access objects in your development efforts. *********************************** Using Temporary Databases *********************************** 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM -- Presented by John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates, (jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com) Demonstrated will be a framework for creating Access database files using code. These can be used to hold data tables used in reports, forms, and queries. See how you can eliminate the need to compact databases once the application is delivered.
