From: The Boston Access User's Group Subject: Access Day - Wednesday 6/18/08 Date: Monday, June 16, 2008 8:43:56 AM This is a reminder that Microsoft Access Day is this Wednesday 6/18/08. Location: Microsoft Corporation, 201 Jones Road, Waltham, MA 02451 (781) 487-6400 For directions and Map: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/info/usaoffices/newengland/waltham.mspx For additional information visit the Access Day web site: http://www.BostonAccessDay.com/ Note: We will no longer be running concurrent afternoon sessions. Please refer to the revised schedule below. Here is the Agenda for Access Day: BEGINNER ***************************************************************** Introduction to Access -- 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates Get started building powerful database applications. See how to quickly and easily build Access forms and reports using built-in Wizards. Learn about helpful resources that can get you up to speed quickly. INTERMEDIATE ***************************************************************** Introduction To Using Event Procedures -- 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates You may have asked yourself: "Since I can do so much in Access without writing any code, why do I need to learn VBA?" Find out why by attending this session. If you are unfamiliar with working in the code window or have never used event procedures, then this session is for you. The approach will be to help the Access novice learn to use one-line-of-code functionality to accomplish some powerful things at run-time. We will keep this session simple to help those new to coding or those who have never used the code window before to get their feet wet and on their way to taking advantage of Access's very powerful programming language. In future sessions we will delve deeper into the subject. ***************************************************************** Access Trauma Center -- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates We'll spend an hour 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 flash drive, CD, or laptop. DEVELOPER ***************************************************************** Introduction To SQL Server -- 5:00 PM - 6:15 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates In this session, we will work exclusively with SQL Server 2005 and the tools that are available to manage it. The focus of this series is to enable Access developers to design client-server applications using Access as the user interface. ***************************************************************** General Announcements and Forum -- 6:15 PM - 6:30 PM Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc. Share information regarding upcoming events, Access bugs, add-on products, and anything else that affects the world of the Access developer. ***************************************************************** Tool Time! -- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM Presented by: John F. Bodin Sometimes, in developing an application, we need some functionality that's a 'nice to have' but would take too long to develop on our own. John will demonstrate some of the third party tools he's used in his applications, including resizing Access forms by auto-detecting screen resolution and DPI settings and Stephen Lebans' solution for disabling the mouse wheel in Access to prevent accidental record scrolling. ***************************************************************** Working with Regular Expressions -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM Presented by: Dean Serrentino of Paradigm Information Systems, Inc. What's that you say? Got some particularly nasty data to scrub? Regular Expressions might be just the ticket. Previously unavailable to Access and VB developers, Dean shows you how leverage this powerful tool that the Unix world has been using right along. Find and optionally replace bad data using complex pattern matching techniques. News and Announcements...
