Disappointed Since starting this group way back when and having only 2 organized meetings, I've decided to drop my enrollment and concentrate on just getting development done. Good luck to you all and contact me if I can help out in anyway. Eric

Possible Meeting Dates I've been waiting to try and get time to talk with John about having a meeting but with my project taking most of my off time, forward momentum has been nil for the meeting. I'll post a new message calling for dates/times and we'll go from there.

Possible Meeting Dates I couldn't get a response from John H. about the meeting space. I PM and called (left message) and didn't get a response. I'll try again soon so we can get together again. We might have to take the restaurant venue again. Eric

DAL (Data Access Layer) Suggestions What I was hoping for was a way to get around the differences between engines and use a generic DAL so I would have duplicated code that was provider specific. This way, the users could define which povider and wouldn't have to do anything else out...
