EARLY REVIEW: "I
have to say that you have surpassed yourself with the Access
Programmer's Reference this time. Very, very nice. I usually use
books like that for reference, to look up stuff when I have a
question, but in this case I have literally been reading it in large
chunks and finding it hard to put down. Especially the new
Access 2010 functionality, I have already learned heaps.
So thanks a lot for that, I just wanted to let you know that I am
mighty impressed with this one. :-) " Steve Schapel, Access

Brainstorming Session - Pros and Cons of holding the SAG and PNWADG meetings
on the same night; by Randy Weers
Randy, PNWADG Membership VP, has been
considering what we can do to improve attendance at the month
meetings. Although he doesn’t hold a position in the Seattle Access
Group he usually attends both meetings and is thinking of ways to
increase attendance. One idea is for both groups to meet on the
same night. They would run consecutively and have much of the same
format; with opportunities for combined networking and Q&A sessions.
Meeting nights may have a theme with both groups covering the same
topic but at different levels of detail and complexity. We would
retain the individual group entities and mission so that the SAG
would continue to focus on beginner level topics and the PNWADG
would focus on intermediate to advanced areas. And of course, we
encourage people to participate in both groups.
This month
during the intro session for each group Randy will lead a
brainstorming session to explore various options and to elicit ideas
and preferences from the membership.
Please think
about this approach and be prepared to share what you think are pros
and cons as well as any obstacles, and how we might overcome them.
For example, a key benefit
of having one meeting night per month is to make it easier for more
people to attend either or both groups. And, if you’re there, you
may as well stay for both
J But, it also means that we will typically limit or forego intro
sessions which included previews, fundamentals, and special
discussions from guests.
This will be
brainstorming – so all
on-topic thoughts will be considered appropriate! If you can’t make
it to either meeting this month, please email your thoughts to
access@datadynamicsnw.com.
Main
Presentation - Design and Rational for our Membership Database - by
Randy Weers
Randy will show us the ins
and outs of our new Membership database. He’ll discuss why he
decided to rewrite the database (basis for a design spec) and show
us some of the techniques he used to accomplish his objectives.
Randy will also show us some of his development techniques and talk
about why he chooses them. And, we’ll learn some simple, yet nearly
impossible to discover, techniques for label printing; so we can all
benefit from Randy’s recent experiences with setting up the label
printer to create member nametags at the meetings.
Randy
has
been with SAG and PNWADG since before they were SAG and PNWADG. He
works at Microsoft but not on the Access team. His title is Senior
People Data Analyst, but don’t let the “senior” part fool you… he’s
still young at heart. Randy was contributing author for the “Access
2003 VBA Programmers Reference.” His work at Microsoft doesn’t
lend itself to too much Access development. So every once in a while
Randy takes on side projects, like developing a user friendly
membership database for the Access groups.
Upcoming Presentations:
Time Saving
Tips by Sanghu Gite, Microsoft Tester for Access (September)
We’ve all picked up some
techniques that save us time or make things easier to do; and as we
use them, they become such a habit that we tend to take-it-for
granted that “everyone knows that.” But as we recently saw, that
isn’t the case. So, Sanghu is searching for and compiling more
helpful time saving techniques, so that we can all get that extra
little boost. In addition to the tips that Sanghu presents, we’ll
also ask our membership to share some of their favorites. Remember,
nothing is too trivial, and you shouldn’t assume that everyone knows
what you know. Perhaps you have a sheet of keystroke shortcuts,
click a table in the Relationship Window to open it, double click
fields to add them to the query grid ... Let’s make it a group
project to add as many tips as we can!
Sanghmitra "Sanghu"
has been a member of the Microsoft Access Test team since October
2004. As a proponent of customer connection with Product groups, she
has been a loyal liaison for the Microsoft Access team with the SAG
and PNWADG user groups. Sanghu has a Masters in Comp. Science from
the University of Arizona in Tucson and had completed 2 internships
with Microsoft before starting full time with Access. Some her
favorite areas of Access include Rich editing, Web Browser Control,
layouts, templates and the new design experience for creating Web
compatible databases.
Showcasing
Access 2010 New Features for Local Deployment; A database Developed
in Access 2010 by Dale Gleyre
We’re all
excited about the benefits provided by the new features in Access
and Office 2010. Despite their lure, we are sometimes inclined to
stick with the comfortable environment that we’re used to rather
than make the switch. Dale will show us how easy it is to design and
build a database in Access 2010. The demonstration is based on a
real project, so it will emphasize the features used to create the
application. But Dale will also demonstrate some of the other new
features that may become some of our favorites.
Congratulations Dale -- as a valuable volunteer, Dale received

Main
Presentation: Leveraging Data Macros by George Hepworth, Access MVP
Access 2010 provides many
new features and enhancements that provide invaluable benefits to
all levels of Access users and developers. Data macros are a prime
example -- they give us the opportunity to do things at the table
level that we couldn’t do in the past.
George will explain how to create data macros, when they are helpful
and ... when they are *essential*. During the demonstration, you
will see how easy and effective it is to create macros that will
respond when data is changed in the table. That’s right, in the
table – these events are not driven by a form or report. Join us
to learn how you can start incorporating this powerful new
functionality into your solutions.
George began his Access
career by creating tools to track sales for the self-study materials
he and his former colleagues created and sold, and to manage the
results of Continuing Education exams administered to licensees.
Realizing Access databases were more interesting and rewarding than
writing training materials, he soon moved to full-time Access
development. Being self-taught, George believes any day on which he
doesn't learn at least one new thing is a day wasted.
George is a Senior Data Development Developer for Data and Domains,
providing Access and Access/SQL Server solutions for clients.
Previously, George founded and operated Grover Park Consulting,
specializing in resuscitating "owner-built" Access databases for
small and medium sized organizations. In his spare time, George is
part of the administrator team, and a regular contributor, at Utter
Access, the most popular Access support site on the internet. In
recognition of his support to the Access community, George has been
awarded as a Microsoft MVP. George holds a BS in English and an MA
in TESL from Utah State University.

Brainstorming Session - Pros and Cons
of holding the SAG and PNWADG meetings on the same night; by Randy
Weers
In an effort to
improve benefits and participation, we are considering holding both
Access group meetings on the same night and we need YOUR suggestions
and thoughts about how to maximize benefits, and to retain the
identities and focus of each group. For example, the group meetings
would run consecutively and have much of the same format; with
opportunities for combined networking sessions. Occasionally,
meeting nights might have a theme with both groups covering the same
topic but at different levels of detail and complexity.
To help maintain their individual missions and sponsor support, we
would retain the individual group entities and membership. The SAG
would continue to focus on beginner level topics and provide a
"safe" environment for new users and developers. The PNWADG would
continue to focus on intermediate to advanced areas, with deep dives
into VBA and other programming areas. Of course, we will continue
encourage people to participate in both groups -- you are sure to
learn something at each session.
The
concept is evolving and we need YOUR ideas on how to organize the
groups and maximize the benefits received for the time invested by
members, guests, presenters, and sponsors. Please think about
this approach and be prepared to share what you think are pros and
cons, and how we might serve our members. All on-topic thoughts
will be considered appropriate! If you can’t make it to either
meeting this month, please email your thoughts to access@datadynamicsnw.com.This month
during the intro session for each group Randy will lead a
brainstorming session to explore various options and to elicit ideas
and preferences from the membership.
Please join us
on Tuesday - and remember to bring more questions!

REVIEW:
FIVE STAR REVIEW!!!!
This
book has extensive coverage of an area vital to Access developers and power
users, by a very knowledgeable team, ably led by Teresa Hennig. It includes
something more than an overview explaining new features of Access 2007. That
is important because: many features are new and changed in Access 2007, much
of what we do with VBA is automating and enhancing features we use manually
via the user interface, and the new Office 2007 user interface can be
overwhelming without a helping "hand up". Then the book covers VBA from the
basics to in-depth advanced levels. It is a worthy successor to the Access
2003 VBA Programmer's Reference and, in my opinion, "raises the bar" for VBA
books. I'll be using it as a reference in presentations to my Access user
groups, as well as a handy reference for my own work. I recommend it to
Access power users, as well as aspiring and working Access developers.

From My Client ...
May 4, 2007
Teresa,
"This could not have been any
truer!"
“I also have time for my clients. Actually, I'm as
passionate about my clients and their projects as I am about my
groups. As a consultant, I am incredibly fortunate to get to work on
projects from a wide spectrum of industries. Every project provides
new challenges for finding ways to manage data, streamline and
automate. Understanding my client's industries, operations and
needs, I feel like I'm their partner and it is important to provide
cost effective solutions. With the savings and benefits, my
solutions typically pay for themselves in a matter of months. My
biggest reward is knowing that I truly made a difference.”
"I am EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU and equally happy! WOW!!!"
