This is especially true as applications become larger and more complex. Managing these lists can become a major task. This month, Jim Connell of Custom Software will show a technique to tame the out of control growth of multiple lists in an application. His approach to list management will make it easy for you and your users to manage lookup lists with a unified lookup engine. Adding new lists and new list elements will become trivial rather than burdensome. ***************************************************************** Survey Database Demonstration -- 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates What do you do when asked to create an application used to input and report on survey questions that are all structured differently? How would the tables be structured? How do you allow users to create their own multi-structured surveys? For this presentation, we will examine one approach to the problem. News and Announcements...
