However, what makes sense to the developer and what makes sense to the end user may be two different things. In this session we will cover the basics of error handling as well as ways to elegantly recover from, and log errors. We will also look at techniques for isolating expected errors to make the end user experience more pleasant and productive. ***************************************************************** Tips and Tricks -- 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM Presented by: John Giuliano of Stone-Crowne Associates John will share some pointers on how add useful functionality to reports and forms that just "didn't seem that easy to do".
