Access your files from anywhere

Ever been at work and needed a file from your home computer? Avvenu is a new service that allows you to have access to all your files from any computer with internet access. The only pre-requisite is that your home computer will need to be left on and logged onto the internet whenever you want to have access to your files. Best of all ... it's FREE!!

You might want to also check out another service I posted on a while back ... Logmein - you can access your computer from anywhere ... kind of like PC Anywhere used to work - and it's FREE as well.

Access Day

If you have ever attended a user group meeting, you know how useful and informative they can be. The Boston area has a user group for Access that meets the third Wednesday of every month. Each meeting provides demonstations, tips & tricks, and troubleshooting for all levels of Access users. I have been contemplating starting something like this at VTEC, but would need to know that the attendance would be consistent to make it worth putting forth the effort in gathering speakers, putting together presentations, and scheduling and organizing the meetings. If this is something that interests you, please drop me an email or post here. Please give me some ideas of topics you'd like to see. Check out Access Day in Boston for some ideas (and useful links/examples).
