Introduction To Using Microsoft Access
9:00 AM to 11:00 AM -- Presented by Dean Serrentino of Paradigm

Access forms and reports using built in Wizards. We will develop our
first application in just two hours.

*****************************************************************
Introduction To Table Design
11:15 AM to 12:00 PM -- Presented by Dean Serrentino of Paradigm
Information Systems, Inc
Learn how to build Access tables.  We will start by importing
existing data in another format (such as an Excel spreadsheet)

We will also review use of the built-in database Table Analyzer.

Why make all the mistakes yourself?  Each month we will look at

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

Dynamic Text Alignment Tricks In Access Reports

Sometimes it is necessary to place text in very precise locations
on a Microsoft Access report.  James will demonstrate one way to
 exactly position text at runtime when the user has the ability
to choose font point size. He will also show how to use Excel's
built-in SLOPE( ) and INTERCEPT( ) functions to derive the key
formula used in the above.
