The Next Meetings

Because the Developers Conference is in session from January

16 through 19, our January user group meeting date has been

moved to MONDAY, January 23 at 7:30PM, at the “normal”

Torrance Airport meeting place. The speaker is one of our

members, Jon Melon ,who will show his FoxPro application with

some object oriented flavor. There will also be plenty of time at

the January meeting for feedback and discussion with our

members who are attending Devcon.

In February, another member, Jeff Knight, will show us some of

his new tricks, this time with a report writer. I still remember the

very innovative user interface ideas that Jeff demonstrated last

year in his medical application, and am looking forward to.

learning something new again.

Announcements

Microsoft will present their annual Tech-Ed Conference in New

Orleans from March 27 through 31. This is another conference

“for computer professionals who design, develop, integrate, or

support” Microsoft based solutions. Although many of the

FoxPro Devcon presentations are repeated at this conference,

the scope is broader and the attendance is larger than the

FoxPro Devcon. There are over 300 technical sessions covering

4 broad tracks — Backoffice, with sessions on SQL Server,

Windows NT Server, Systems Management Server, and the

new Exchange Server — Development Tools, with sessions on

FoxPro, Visual Basic, and Visual C++ — Office, with sessions

on Excel, Word, Access, and Project — Windows Technologies,

with sessions on Windows 95, OLE, Multimedia, and MAPI. I

have a brochure with a listing of session titles. The pnceis. $995

before Feb. 1. To register, call 800 433-9996.
