*** My Services ***
I am available for part-time, after-hours consulting and development.   Q&A with a guaranteed 24-hour response time and mentoring of other developers available on a fee basis.

At Experts Exchange I only offer my programming guidance.  If you need help with bigger projects outside this forum, or need a rock-solid solution customized to your needs as fast as possible, feel free to contact me, but it would be on behalf of my company based on market prices.  


*** My standards for answering questions ***
I do not answer questions that contain, and will boycott answering questions from askers that violate:
Askers that frequently post questions and *demand* answers, and start flaming and whining when they are not provided.
   (If you read this and ask 'Is he talking about me?', then chances are the answer is yes.)
Files.  My clients pay good money for me to work directly in their files, so I won't be doing yours for free.
Multiple continuous follow-on questions.   Continuous mentoring of developers for their project is available on a fee basis outside of EE.
Cracking the password security of any appliation.  
Subform code.  Too many things going on in subforms that most askers don't provide.


*** Your standards for asking questions ***
For your membership you are getting access to my expertise as a volunteer, and not a guarantee of an answer and an indefinate stream of support.  Be polite, or your name will be added to a multi-expert boycott list.


*** My Experience ***

I have taught Access Beginning to Advanced, Access Development, Visual Basic 6 Development, and Excel VBA Development at ExecuTrain of Minnesota, and Office 2000 at Academy College in Minnesota.
