Here's what's up for the night: (times are approximate and subject to change) 5:30 - 6:30 PM: Q&A Bring your knowledge and your questions to this session. It will be helpful for all. 6:30 - 8:30 PM: Program Companies large and small are concerned about scalability of their application. Microsoft offers a rich series of products to assist the developer. These aids range from database templates which can be modified to suit many applications, to internet applications where modules requiring insertion of business rules is the major coding effort. Tomorrow night's program will target this problem. Using the example of Access because it supplements QuickBooks, enhances the existing operation and adapts to the capabilities of the existing personnel its scalability options will be covered in depth. Experts will observe on the development efforts required at different stages as the company and the number of retail outlets expand. The first stage of the expanded system will be expansion of the home office system to an intranet where features of Office 2000 will play an important role. The second stage will feature internet operations. The possible roles that Access can play in each stage will be outlined. For questions about this or other programs visit www.LunaSystems.com. Hope you can make it!
