They are hour long web-hosted meetings, from 12-1pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday lunchtimes, and mean that you can get up to date with some of our latest technology for education – without having to leave school.

This post is one in a series on Microsoft Office 2010 application development. These posts will be published in the future as part of an MSDN article.

As promised in my, “Big announcement coming on New Years Day!” post back on December 18th, it is 8:00 am PST on New Year’s Day and here is the big announcement to kick off the New Year!  For the first time ever , Microsoft is expanding the 50%* off Up-To-Date discount to include TWO prior versions on both Microsoft Office Professional and Microsoft Windows worldwide and this offer will be available until June 30, 2010!  (If you see “N-2”, “N” is the current version and “-2” means two prior versions)  What this means is that millions of customers running older versions of Microsoft Office Professional and Microsoft Windows will now be able to take advantage of the Up-To-Date discount available through the Open Value Subscription Program to get 50%* off their Year 1 payments!  So who qualifies for this offer?

Hi all,           Before writing something that would take some time to do in terms of loading data, I was able to successfully conduct a bulk load of data into SharePoint with MSAccess.  Here is my mock up test that I did.  I created a SharePoint list in a sample site with the following schema: Sample List Title                                 Single Line of Text Sample Column                  Single Line of Text Sample Lookup Column       Lookup to a Contacts List I chose these columns because they represent some non-standard column types of mapping in order to do bulk loads with.  I then created a new Access 2007 database and linked to the [Sample List] in SharePoint.  I then created a mirror data load table in the access database with the following schema Sample List Local Source ID                          AutoNumber Title                       Text SampleColumn         Text SampleLookupValue  Number Note that the source data for inserting into a SharePoint list lookup column via Access is a number (the actual ID of the specified target value of the Lookup list).
