Spring 2010 Meeting Wrap-up

Mar 22nd

Posted by Brian Lindner in Meetings

That you everyone for making our spring 2010 meeting a success.  We had a very nice turnout and some interesting discussions.  So far everyone has seemed to like the new meeting setup of shorter presentations (where possible) and plenty of time for group discussions and Q&A sessions.

At the meeting we learned how Multiserv, Inc. is using Report Studio with some special report interactions to flag database record status fields and insert data into the database.

You can get a copy the presentation here: CBIG Spring 2010 – Insert Data Using Report Studio
Thank you to Gordon Lucht of Multiserv, Inc for the presentation and allowing us to post it online for the members.

As always let us know how we are doing and what you may want us to discuss, learn about, or maybe even present at future CBIG meetings.  You can contact us here.
