Hi Bryan: Our web site needs a lot of work to move to the next level. A few simple things that would require a bit of research... 1. Create the definitive link list for the site. You know most of the sites from but there are a few out there that are not obvious but definitely should be counted... like 'http://www.colbyconsulting.com/' or 'http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com' or 'http://www.mvps.org/access/' and many more. It would be great to be able to create the ultimate Access research page. 2. Putting some of the great comments and code snippets into either a gazette or new article for upcoming issues(s). 3 List member advertisement pages stores on a MS SQL DB. This is not confirmed by the executive yet but I believe it makes sense. We should be supporting our list members' accomplishment like their books, articles, programs or even design and support companies. We are a way from implementing this but the format, design, and coding can be started as it will be a lengthy development from creation to implementation. 4. There is of course .Net... and XML/HXML/AJAX... where much of Access development is heading/expanding. It is a truly distributive application development platform and the performance is really awesome when using ASP.Net client side is coupled with ADO.Net... 'a thousand users are serviced as fast as one' (Not mine but a quote from a book.). Should we be looking seriously at this? Articles, new lists, roll our own? These are just a few of the web site work that is waiting to be started and implemented. Our current web site owners are having some problems getting our MS SQL server up and running again but we will be getting MS SQL support one way or the other. So you can work/plan for/with a MS SQL set of option/solutions. Keep me posted as I am enjoying a 'fairly' flexible time constraint as well.

I am thinking of something that would make development easier or a specifc app that would greatly help developers. I need something to keep my mind active and fingers busy :) It can be anything from Access to Word to Excel (Office 2K), even VB 6. I'm open to any and all suggestion. And If I can learn something new, that would be even better.
