Last night we had the second user group meeting at the GETEC Centre, with
Andy Couch giving two superb talks one on Upsizing Access Applications and the
other on the new data types in SQL Server 2008. The presentations for each of
these are available below:
Rob Blackmore also gave a great presentation on adding validation controls to
WPF applications, this was a great grok talk from a first time speaker, if you
