Like everyone these good ol' lockdown days we see, send and receive many emails trying to arrange meetings using Teams, Zoom or similar.

Turns out one person can do Thursday at 3pm, but another two can't make that time. So you send out an alternative date/time. And so it continues until you think you've found a mutually suitable time, and BINGO, the last person on the list trashes that too.

Give FindTime a go - it's a free MS-Outlook add-in that lets you create a poll of the meeting invitees. It's more transparent than emails so it can make the process quicker and less painful. Might save you some hair.

FindTimehttps://findtime.microsoft.com is an Outlook add-in for scheduling meetings. The organizer can send multiple time options through FindTime and minimize the back and forth emails in scheduling.

FormsFly, our mobile forms app, has had a host of new features recently. The latest is the facility to view a log of all your forms and where they've been sent to (via email, to Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive, etc). Any forms which could not be sent are highlighted as errors. You can even re-send a form now - something people have been asking for for some time!

We're looking forward to hosting our work experience student Steven next week. There's plenty going on right now so we should be able to keep him busy! :-}

Someone asked this week whether a barcode scanner could be used with an Access database. Well, the answer is definitely YES. This can save lots of manual data entry and save you time. For instance, you could use it to scan product barcodes for a stock control system – scanning the barcode might just bring the correct product onto the screen, or it might book that product into stock. Or perhaps you’d like to scan asset labels for an asset tracking system. There are lots of different possibilities, and scanners can be wireless or they may be connected via a USB port on your PC. We can supply all the kit and program the database to use it.

Did you know that pressing Shift-F2 when you're in MS-Access zooms the current field up into a nice big box? It's really useful if you're in a big text field and want to see more of what's in there!
