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 ***************************************************************** Introduction to Using Access Projects -- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc. Did you know that beginning with Office 2000, Access ships with a version of SQL Server? Dean will explain the differences between using a native Access database, and using the SQL Server Desktop Engine for application development. He'll also demonstrate how to get up and running with Access Projects, which provide the developer a means of interacting with SQL Server data to create Client/Server solutions. ***************************************************************** Access Trauma Center -- 3:00 PM - 5:00 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 ***************************************************************** Access Add-in Development Project Roundtable -- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Presented by: Rick Lunetta of Luna Systems 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 Share information regarding upcoming events, Access bugs, add-on products, and anything else that affects the world of the Access developer. ***************************************************************** Client Server Using Access Front Ends -- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM Presented by: Jim Rand of Rand and Associates Jim will be presenting an alternative approach to designing high performance multi-user Access applications. In this session, a completely novel framework will be discussed, showing how to build scalable solutions that bypass linked network tables, and don't use Access Data Projects (ADP). Just imagine - super fast performance, rapid application development and systems that never break! ***************************************************************** Access Security Part Two -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM Presented by: Russ Ganz of Desktop Access Systems Russ will continue the discussion on Access security covering some advanced topics such as horizontally or vertically partitioning data within a secure Access database, and how to 'lock down' your code and queries from users who have been given rights to use the data. If time permits other tips and tricks will be presented. Next Month's Topics...
