Hi Everyone, Wednesday is Access Day! Join us on September 16th (this Wednesday) at Microsoft in Waltham, MA. We have a full day of education and discussion on everything Access! We're not sure how many people caught the news "blurb" on the internet a few weeks ago about the Access "Bookmark Bug". The headline from MSNBC read "A serious bug has surfaced in Access 97 that can potentially corrupt user databases without most users being aware of it. Users report the bug affects Access 2, Access 95, and Access 97." Rick will be looking at the "bookmark bug" problem in the evening session and showing you how it occurs and how to avoid it! For your own information visit this weblink: http://odyssey.apana.org.au/~abrowne/BugBookmark.html As always all events are free and do not require pre-registration. Seating is based on a first come basis so it pays to be early! Our complete agenda for the day is as follows: ************************************ Intro Session: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm ************************************ "Intro to Access 97" Presented By: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates stone-crowne@msn.com If you've just opened the box or you've just started using Access 97, this session is for you!
