Table Design A To Z -- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.
d.serrentino@paradigminc.us
Table design is the first, and most critical step, in the design of
 any application.  An application with poor table structure is doomed
to fail before development completes.  In this session, Dean will
cover the do's, don'ts and how to's of table design; and the
underlying principles of data normalization.

INTERMEDIATE ACCESS
*****************************************************************
Table Design A To Z (continued) -- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.

During the second half of this presentation Dean will shift the
focus to more complex table design issues.

Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates

Access Add-in Development Project Roundtable -- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

*****************************************************************
How to Model People and Relationships in Databases -- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Presented by: Jim Connell of Custom Software jconnell3@hotmail.com
Database design is the foundation for any data intensive application.
Modeling people and how they relate to each other in your database
is an area ripe for potential errors.  This presentation will show
the common errors that developers make and will demo a design that
 is flexible, and extensible, yet relatively easy to understand and
implement.

*****************************************************************
Drive Your Application With Tables -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com
Most of us use tables to store data. But tables can do much more.
Table driven functionality can often simplify security, application
maintenance, drive processes and logic.  During this session we will
demonstrate examples of each of these methods.
