INTRODUCTION TO ACCESS
*****************************************************************
Introduction To Table Design -- 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.
Learn the basics of designing and building Access tables.  Dean explains how to
leverage the power of the relational database model, while illustrating the
importance of a solid design.  He'll explain the different types of table
relationships, and the role of each.  Lastly, the table analyzer wizard will be
demonstrated by splitting data from a single Excel spreadsheet into multiple
Access tables.

INTERMEDIATE ACCESS
*****************************************************************
Dynamic SQL -- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.
Dean demonstrates the use of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code to create
queries that can change dynamically.  Learn how you can incorporate this
functionality into your own applications to create flexible and powerful user
forms.

*****************************************************************
Access Trauma Center -- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
We'll spend two hours helping to debug, add enhancements, or make design
recommendations. The audience is encouraged to bring in real world developer
problems that need solving now. Bring your applications on floppy, CD, or Zip
Disk.

ACCESS DEVELOPER
*****************************************************************
General Announcements and Forum -- 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
Share information regarding upcoming events, Access bugs, add-on products, and
anything else that affects the world of the Access developer.

*****************************************************************
Tips, Tricks And Good Habits For Coding In Access -- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
This session will cover various way of making your code bug free, readable,
efficient and simple.  John will also look at a few traps that you do not want
to fall into.

*****************************************************************
Error Handling Basics -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
Too many of us use the default error handling used in Access Wizards to let the
user see a message box telling them that something went wrong.  Very often this
message is useless to the user (and very often also to the developer).  In this
presentation we will consider a number of ways of using Access error handling
capabilities to notify users, roll back processes, make branching decisions, and
log errors.
