Here is the Agenda for Access Day:

INTRODUCTION TO ACCESS
*****************************************************************
Introduction To Table Design -- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.
d.serrentino@paradigminc.us
Learn the basics of designing and building Access tables. Dean will explain how
to leverage the power of the relational database model,  while illustrating the
importance of a solid design.  He will also explore the different types of table
relationships, and explain the role of each.

*****************************************************************
Introduction To Access -- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.
d.serrentino@paradigminc.us
Get started building powerful database applications. See how to quickly and
easily build Access forms and reports using built-in Wizards. We'll develop a
comprehensive contact management application in just two hours.

INTERMEDIATE ACCESS
*****************************************************************
Using Queries to Transform Data -- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc.
d.serrentino@paradigminc.us
Have you have ever been unable to report on data because it wasn't in the
desired format. Many times, queries can help.  Queries can do a lot more than
just return records.  Dean will demonstrate how to use expressions and action
queries together, to completely re-arrange data.

*****************************************************************
Access Trauma Center -- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com
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
*****************************************************************
Access Add-in Development Project Roundtable -- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Presented by: Rick Lunetta of Luna Systems rickl@lunasystems.com
Interested members of the group collaborate on the development of an Access
2000/2002 add-in.  Input from all professional developers in the group is
welcome.

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

*****************************************************************
Access Form Events-- What Happens When (And Why?) -- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com
As developers we all take advantage of the strengths of event driven
programming.  But every once in a while, events seem to get in each other's way
and we end up with difficult to debug errors.  The help files included with
Access only help when we have events occurring on a simple form;  But what
happens when we have events occurring on multiple sub forms?  We will examine
the issues involved in determining what is going on in our applications at any
given point in time.

*****************************************************************
New And Seldom Used Access Events -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates
jgiuliano@stone-crowne.com
During this session we will look specific events that are available to Access
developers.  Some you didn't know were in the newer versions; some you were
never aware of (though they have been around); and some that you hope you'll
never need to use.
