I gained a lot of great information from the conference ... the price made it easy to get approval from my company ... the resources that came with the course were great. I would recommend Rick's course to a colleague.

I will strongly advise others to do the same and take your on-line courses.

The presentations and demos were well done and well thought out -- simple and yet adequate to the task at hand without unnecessary detail.

You were always engaging and friendly, presenting a positive learning environment.

Your approach appeals to me more than other "programmer oriented" .NET training because of its emphasis on database development.  I especially like the way you showed me how to apply VB.NET for quick access to business data.

I attended one of your seminars in Detroit ... and have been a big fan ... ever since.  Keep up the good work -- you are a valuable resource to developers who attempt to stay current with ever-changing development technologies.

Thank you to the both of you very much for making this online seminar so pleasant...It's great to be able to attend the seminar from home. I would have to go to Orlando (1 hour from home if I had to travel).

I picked up a great deal of new ideas that I will be able to use immediately.  This session was valuable in that I learned the new features of Access/SQL Server and was able to realize the value of VB.NET in the direction that Microsoft is going.

	Your seminar was one of the best I've ever attended. You know an incredible amount of Microsoft info and you present it clearly and completely. I definitely would consider taking your seminars again.
	I came away from this seminar with some good ideas and new directions to go in programming and database development.

Thanks for the valuable seminar presentation this week.  You gave me an excellent roadmap for creating database application development projects.

It truly was the most favorable and productive experience I've had in 15 years of dealing with computers.... I learned so much thanks to your organization and presentation of topics in the seminar.

I learned a lot from Rick (the presenter) that I'm going to put into use on my job. In addition, the seminar experience is very cordial.  It was a fun time.

I wanted to take this time to thank you and let you know I thought your presentation of Access was knowledgeable and concise. Too often I've attended training classes and come away disappointed. I'm happy to say, after the class, I'm eager to try some new things (code),  and I have the materials to practice and refer to.

I enjoyed seeing how to design SQL Server tables and triggers directly from within Access.  I am look forward to using those capabilities at my firm.

You did a great job in sharing very useful  information.  I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to interact with you over lunch, between sessions, and within sessions in a way that is not possible with the conference-style training events.

The seminar was extremely helpful for me. I have no experience with SQL Server, so the seminar gave me a nice introduction to it as well as helping me appreciate the possibilities...I look forward to attending a live seminar at some point.

I want to thank both of you very much for the work you have done making this online seminar so pleasant. The basket of goodies, all the slide and files on the CD, etc, it seems that there is a lot of work to make all this possible...It's great to be able to attend the seminar from home.

 

This seminar was perfect because it was in my local area, covered new topics that I needed to learn about for my job, and also gave me the chance to converse with my peers about what they are doing.

 

The seminar was informative and covered the material I expected. I am interested in attending the Visual Basic .NET workshop next year. Let me know when you will be in the area.

 

I really got a lot out of the seminar. You hit what was important to me. Ideas that can be built on.

Thanks for the update.  I did indeed enjoy the seminar and found it very productive.

Thanks for the seminar! It was much more useful than I expected... I met people just like me... people who spoke of solutions, problems, and work-arounds that I could understand and even discuss! Upon my return, I immediately asked for a budget for next year's seminar! See you then!

 

The seminar gave me a great opportunity to learn at a very fast pace. It exceeded my expectations.  Thanks for addressing attendee's specific issues.  Thanks also, for having all the links available right after the seminar.

 

I enjoyed your Seattle seminar and got a lot out of it.  Thanks for allowing me to tape it.  Be assured I will used it only for my own benefit and will gather much more from the seminar by listening to it again.

 

	The seminar was very good for me.  Some of the most valuable information in my opinion was the "big picture" view of the Microsoft database development landscape.  Your presentation style is very good.  The drawings for prizes are fun.
	Thank you, Rick, for all the information.  Please pass my appreciation along to Virginia for making atmosphere so relaxed and cordial.  The seminar was excellent overall.
	The seminar was extremely helpful for me. I have no experience with SQL Server, so the seminar gave me a nice introduction to it as well as helping me appreciate the possibilities...I look forward to attending a live seminar at some point.

A developer from San Francisco remarked: The seminar was both enjoyable and beneficial for me.  Your choice of subject matter was right on my needs...You did a great job!

A Detroit registrant and his colleague sent us this message: We found last year's seminar to be invaluable.  We plan to attend this year as well.

Another developer shared this comment with us: I found the seminar to be VERY useful...I was able to implement a huge amount of your seminar content the first day I returned to my office. Your demonstration of using Access across the web will be a valuable service that I can offer my clients. I really feel that your seminar hit the mark.

A New York registrant composed this seminar evaluation: I wanted to take this time to thank you for a well thought out presentation and clear usable information. I am often leery to go to seminar-like presentations because I do not feel I will get anything useful...You and your wife provided a comfortable learning environment and made the time fun and engaging. I thank you and your wife, again, for a job well done.

Another participant from a major utility firm was particularly enthusiastic about how the seminar will change how the way her firm uses databases: I had a meeting with my boss today, and I had so many ideas on how we could improve our databases.  The seminar inspired me.

A Miami seminar attendee sent this message: Thanks again for hosting such a wonderful class. I found all the material extremely useful. We're already talking about some of the changes we will have to make in our Access-SQL Server applications...I brought the MS Access changes to the attention of our management team and it's turning some heads...I enjoyed the class and all the extras.

Another Miami seminar attendee sent this appraisal of his experience: I felt the seminar content was rich and interesting and the accommodations made me feel welcome and comfortable...I am encouraging other members of my group to attend your next season of seminars...Again, thanks for the awesome seminar. Also, I am ecstatic to have won SQL 2000!

A Los Angeles registrant summarized his experience this way: Thanks for a great seminar...The meeting accommodations and agenda were first rate!

Here's a review from another LA registrant: I would like to thank Rick and his wife, Virginia, for providing a positive learning environment and attending to all the participants' needs. The seminar provided me with great new ideas to implement in my company. I just received Programming Microsoft Access 2000 from Barnes and Noble and am in the process of implementing some of the topics discussed in this book and at the seminar. Please keep me up to date when the next seminar comes rolling through the Southern California area.

A Michigan registrant sent a message that included these words: I wanted to thank you for everything we learned at your class...It certainly will be valuable for enhancing our applications.  I am looking forward to reading your book.
