Next MOSSIG 25th Feb - Using Office and SharePoint

The next MOSSIG is on the 25th of Feb with Adam Cogan presenting on Using Office 2007 and SharePoint 2007.

Here's the summary of the session:

SharePoint 2007 and Office (and Outlook, Excel and even Access 2007 etc) have had an enormous amount of work done in this version and they work together beautifully. SharePoint 2007 to many is a web version of Access. Come see Adam Cogan show you how you have a lot of options including:

• using SharePoint data in your Access solution
• using Access to report on your SharePoint data
• upsizing your access data to SharePoint and then continue with Access as the frontend
• upsizing your entire Access solution to SharePoint and then finish using Access as your platform

In addition we will look at using SharePoint data in other Office applications.

Welcome Julian van Bergen

Finally had enough spare time between changing nappies to get back to the blog to announce the arrival of Julian Yanos van Bergen.
He was born naturally at 9:12 on the 14th of Jan weighing 3690g.
His arrival was a bit rocky as he had the cord wrapped round his neck but that was all sorted out pretty quickly but the great hospital staff and after a bit of oxygen he was fine. While the experience wasn't as smooth as last time it was still wonderful to meet the new little guy.

But a day later he had to get carted off to the special care nursery due to rash and a suspected infection which was making it hard for him to stay warm. He had to stay in there for the rest of our hospital stay while the did lots of blood tests and other checks which was horrible to watch and worried the hell out of both Greg and I.

Fortuanely he came through all the tests just fine and has been doing well at home with the rest of the family now. Over the last month he has been slowly getting used to his loving brother Victor being a bit to enthusistic with the hugs and kisses at times and generally settling in well with family life.

Also for the curious Yanos is a family name from the hungarian side of Greg's family.
