Can't make it as on Holiday, but looks like a great agenda.

So, the whole conference was great, lots of good stuff and now I have a free version of MZ-Tools.

But the best takeaway for me was learning a new "thing" in VBA: The End statement. I am not even going to begin to explain how I went about achieving the same functionality. What is really amazing is that it came out in passing during the "give-away" portion of the conference...

It is little jewels like this that make me wonder what else is out there that I am unaware of...

Another impression was what one of the presenters said: "Columns are expensive, Rows are cheap".

This is something most of us know already. One of the first things I remember learning on AWF was "Spreadsheets are wide, databases (tables) are deep". I am having to explain this more than I should have to - to another "Access Dev".

I don't know how you guys do it.
