Hi FullName,
This message brings you good news about resources and opportunities at ProgrammingMSAccess.com. Our site has been in the business of helping Access, SQL Server, VBA, and VB.NET developers for years. We keep on branching out to enrich and grow our value to site visitors. This message highlights some traditional reasons why folks like us as well as a new service available to those who join our Database Developers Group. As we wind down any quarter, it is always a good time to review prize opportunities. Therefore, we close with some news about some great prizes that you can win.
Why folks like our site
We encourage site visitors to share their opinion of our site with us in our Guest Book. Feedback from site visitors reflects the reasons that folks continue to derive value from coming to our site. In addition, the geographical locations of our site visitors confirm that we serve developers (and those who want to be developers) from around the globe.
Michael Johnson from New York comments: This site provides comprehensive information about Access for both experienced developers and those just starting out.
Johan Bence who resides in South Africa left these remarks: The advanced code samples help me to improve my skills.
Stephen Thomas who lives in Massachusetts summarized the site by emphasizing two features that we consider very important: The site is easy to read and navigate.
A site visitor from Saudi Arabia, Thomas Vaidyan, was also a buyer of one of the books by the webmaster. Thomas remarked: I like the product reviews. In addition, I am growing my .NET and SQL Server skills with your book on these topics.
Andrew Quentero from Pennsylvania summed up his view of the site this way: I like the book reviews and code samples.
Ed White is a student in Georgia who shared this opinion with us: The site is a great resource for students like me.
Rufin Ratime from Quebec, Canada wanted to let us know that he: liked the site's spirit. It's nice to find a place on the web that helps folks to enhance their programming knowledge.
Dalene Flade from Texas wrote: I like the samples. It is hard to find good samples that are really useful on the web.
Richard Merrick, another Texan, had three things to say about our site: Information, information, information.
Stephen Ridway from Victoria, Australia expressed the same kind of viewpoint when he wrote: Your site is very useful and informative.
Another Australian, Zaffer Jacoub, highlighted a traditional ProgrammingMSAccess.com strength by noting: The site provides great help to Access programmers.
Loring Douglas, a developer from Illinois, found the site useful for addressing practical issues by noting: Your site is impressive in its coverage of querying techniques. The site can help developers generate reports or view data with filters.
A new reason to like our site
One innovation introduced over the past couple of years to serve site visitors better is the creation of Database Developers Group (DDG). Through the DDG, we offer premium support to those who show an interest in growing with our site. One very obvious way of supporting DDG members is through the referral of consulting and technical support opportunities. We derive these opportunities from tens of thousands of visitor sessions each month. A significant fraction of our visitors are looking for help, and a fraction of these are willing to pay for professional support. We pass along pre-screened requests for paid support to DDG members. This service also benefits our site visitors by giving them access to a worldwide network of skilled database professionals.
While our site has always strongly supported DDG members with a consulting practice, we have not offered the same kind of support to database professionals who work inside an organization. Developers who work in an organization very often prefer to move up the technical ladder in their current place of employment or move to new organizations with greater technical growth opportunities. For this reason, we are offering a new resume-posting service to DDG members.
The resume-posting service will recognize you as an active DDG member and highlight whatever you put in your resume. This will give your resume very wide exposure because the site serves over one million pages annually. Many site visitors are from organizations that need fresh database talent. As you seek employment elsewhere or growth inside your current organization, you can refer persons to your published resume at the ProgrammingMSAccess.com, which will tout your credentials in your own words as well as recognize you as a professional who cares enough about your career to become a DDG member.
We are offering this resume-posting benefit to new and renewing DDG members. This is not a prize for some lucky winner. Any new member can immediately have their resume posted with a mention of their status as a DDG member at the ProgrammingMSAccess.com site. Your resume will appear at the site for the duration of your membership. The fees for this benefit are as follows.
Free to post for any member who joins for two years or longer.
$10 to post with one free refresh per year for members who renew for one year.
$10 to refresh your resume more than once per year.
If you have any questions about this opportunity, including how to take advantage of it, just leave a message in our Guest Book. You can learn more about the DDG from our site, including what the overall benefits are and how to join. Remember, this resume-posting benefit is available exclusively to DDG members. Membership has its privileges! We look forward to posting your resume just as soon as you are ready.
Prizes waiting to be won
Between now and the end of the quarter, ProgrammingMSAccess.com will be giving away prizes two different ways. First, you can win a prize just by signing our Guest Book. Second, we have reserved a select set of prizes for those who join the DDG during June.
The prizes for general site visitors who sign our Guest Book are from Peter's Software and vb123.com. In addition, we are offering two one-year licenses for SPAM Blocker, this site's solution for filtering spam with Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002, or Outlook 2003.

We also have two prizes available exclusively to those who either become new DDG members or who renew an existing membership during June.

If you create Access solutions, this package is bound to make you more productive. The other prize is Peter's Software highly popular and very versatile SELECTOR package. We'll pick winners at the end of June for each of these prizes from those who join the DDG or renew a DDG membership.
