Hi Martin: <comment> I think that would be a great idea but John has, in the past, been trying to sell and has allowed downloads of specific modules of related code. I am not sure how well he has done with this but suspect not as well as he should have. It seems to take more marketing than designing to sell a product. I was on a short term contract with a company that had a type of frame-work built on top of an Access database. The companies' staff deployment was as follows: 1 x Network support 3 x Frame Assemblers and help desk guys 2 x Framework designer, or real programmers 5 x Program managers 12 x Sales and advertising staff ... and the usual account clerks, front desk persons and managers. (5 more) >From this company, which was actually listed on the Toronto stock exchange, only 5% of the staff did programming. 95% of the people were support, management and on sales. I can not say whether this is fairly typical company layout but they have survived for over 15 years in the computer industry. To make a short story long, I think John's product is excellent and if he spent most of his time marketing, sales would have reflected that. </comment> Jim PS I hope you do not mind me commenting on you in third person. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Martin Reid Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 9:48 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Log class Personally I think you shoud sell the framework Martin Martin WP Reid Training and Assessment Unit Riddle Hall Belfast tel: 02890 974477 ________________________________ From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com on behalf of Michael R Mattys Sent: Sun 07/01/2007 15:09 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Log class >I thought you guys might appreciate seeing how I do this.
