Ray, Sounds like an interesting prospect to me.

Fundamentally, Access has a more divided user base than the other Office applications; one type of Access user uses it as a database to store and access information, whilst another type uses it to create applications. The former really has no need to code, nor even to create maketable queries or whatever. It would be an interesting sequel to the survey potentially to look at doing something similar for the different types of Excel user. How do you feel about collaborating, James?

James -----Original Message----- From: Ray Blake [mailto:ray@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 4:38 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: 'Graham Barrow' Subject: [mso] Microsoft Office Survey - results now available :VSMail mx3 Some of you will recall that a few weeks ago I asked for help in completing a survey into the use of Microsoft Office. I am delighted to say we had a magnificent response which meant that altogether (including respondents from all sources) we had over 170 participants complete the questionnaires. This has helped to ensure the relevance and accuracy of the survey's findings. We have now completed the analysis which has been posted to our website (http://www.grbps.com <http://www.grbps.com/> and follow the links for the survey). You can also request a version in Adobe Acrobat format from the website if you would like it in a printer-friendly format. This is available free of charge and all we ask is that, if you quote from or publish any of the analysis or conclusions, you give proper attribution to the source. We believe the report and analysis will be of use to anyone who uses office applications but in particular the following groups: - 1. PC trainers and educators will find insights into how and where the training budget is best directed for Office users. 2. IT support workers and systems administrators will learn which Office features need and need not be included in standard installs, based on actual likely usage. 3. Freelance IT trainers will gain useful information to help them focus their marketing activity to where it can have most effect (and they are welcome to use the results as part of that marketing strategy). 4. Office application users will be able to identify where their own skills and knowledge could be developed for maximum productivity payoff. Many thanks once again to all those who took the time and trouble to take part.
