PROJECT: We need a Microsoft Project Express
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a cheap (perhaps free) stripped down version of Microsoft Project?
Today we took on the third big client in a row who is using Excel to project manage their project.
Insane right?
Here’s how they do it. Tasks go down the first column. The other columns represent dates. They size the date columns about [...]

TECHED: TechEd clarifications – the need for clear direction
I’ve had very little feedback on my TechEd Disappointment post (even though surprisingly it has become my second most hit post of the last 6 months). Of the feedback I have received there has been two main points:
1. The post was far too long and wordy – [...]

O07: Office 2007 Technical Refresh thoughts
I was going to attempt to work in some witty James Bond references (eg Office 07 = O07 – License to Thrill, Live and Let (Toolbars) Die, The World is (Still) Not Enough, A View to a (conditional formatting) Fill, etc, etc) but soon realised none of them were remotely [...]

I’m sure everyone who reads this blog already reads Andrew MacNeill’s (and if not, then why not?).
So, the reason I’m linking to his BINDEVENT post is mainly so that I remember to use it soon. I’m ashamed to admit I still use some ancient code in my projects (not that I write much code [...]

Rick sheds some light on how to prepare properly for presenting at conferences. Excellent advice and mandatory reading for any conference presenter.
As a very experienced audience member {g} I deeply applaud his first suggestion on being well prepared.

Yes, another(!) beta. Download it here.
I know we promised to release this ages ago, but we’ve been slack…
This release fixes a few minor items (eg the flickering between tab changes) and brings consistency between tab icon and tab label behaviour.
A big, big thank you to Tracy P who has done most of the work for [...]

Interesting to see no one blogging about how VFP has fallen back to position 18 in the TIOBE index. This from 13 a month or two back. Not surprising really I guess given how quiet the VFP blogosphere has been lately.
Craig Boyd, please help, we need another call to action…
