Anyone know if the DFW area Metroplex Access Developers group is still
in existence?

I am aware of the NTPCUG Access SIG,
http://sp.ntpcug.org/accesssig/
Attended once and was very un-impressed with the extremely low turnout
and lack of a program.

No, the sponsor stopped providing our meeting place after the December 2008
meeting. They were not able to find another meeting place for a weeknight
meeting with computer projection capability.

I'm sorry you caught us when we had a less than interesting meeting. I'm
hoping that we are now "rebuilding"... we simply do not have enough
attendees to have separate "end-user" and "developer" meetings, but our
extremely low turnout has improved somewhat in recent months. You aren't
ever likely to see an average attendance of 60 as we had in the mid-1990s
when we met at the Dallas InfoMart (the parent NTPCUG had 7 to 12 times its
current membership back then).

My plans for the July meeting (Saturday, July 16) are to demonstrate and
discuss a simple database application for catalogging, finding, and
displaying images. It'll be created in Access 2003, but should be usable in
Access 2007 and Access 2010, too. It will not be, of course, in-depth
coverage of a complex application. If you'd be willing to prepare and
present, we'd be delighted to have you as a guest speaker. "Back in the
day," I used to have very good luck obtaining high-quality guest speakers,
but "times have been lean", lately, in that regard.

And, in keeping with our recent survey of users, we will be doing more with
Access 2010, but not necessarily to the exclusion of "classic Access".
