I’m trying to determine which M2M topics you folks want to read about. We can all use VBA, but since FastForms is an optional module less people may be interested in reading about it.
Please specify your level of interest in M2M FastForms.
I own FastForms and use [...]
Here are some things I thought were interesting this week:
A Few Good DBA’s This is a humorous take on Jack Nicholson’s rant in “A Few Good Men.” I’ll include an excerpt below as the site requires free registration to view the article and I know many of you won’t bother.

I got an email from someone regarding this post regarding my preference for Crystal Reports. The question is, “What is Command Scheduler and what is wrong with it?”
First, in this blog I try to emphasize the importance of two way communication. If you don’t understand something, or you think I’m crazy, [...]
In a previous post I recommended the use of Crystal Reports and listed some of the advantages of doing so. One of the primary reasons I am looking forward to the Made2Manage .Net future is my fervent hope that VFP Reporting will go away. Visual FoxPro reporting must die. In this [...]

Please check all the reporting options you use.
Visual FoxPro included [...]
Approximately 4 years ago at a National User Conference, a Made2Manage customer gave a demonstration of Crystal Reports. It is my understanding that at the time, Made2Manage was in negotiations with Crystal to license it as a partner to provide a quality alternative to Visual FoxPro reporting.

Let me preface this by saying that I am extremely thorough during migration testing. In a future post, I will describe the method I use when I perform a [...]
Today I was tagged by SQL Ninja Brent Ozar after he was tagged by Chris Shaw for this brief SQL DBA Quiz. His quiz requests that I name two mistakes I’ve made in my career. As someone who celebrates his mistakes, of course I will have to oblige. The title of my post, is [...]
