Vicki, I think a New York users group is a great idea. By the way, it was nice to meet you at that Friday meeting. We only recently had TMS installed and learning Crystal Reports will be next on the agenda of "things to do," after a little more data clean-up and configuration. It is always helpful to learn from those who have been using the system a little longer than us! Thanks. Annette L.

I was at Gallery Systems on Friday, and I spoke with Karen about possibly starting a New York region user's group to discuss and share our real-life experience and knowledge regarding TMS. It appears to me that a lot of us are creating the same types of forms and reports, and it seems redundant for everyone to be re-creating the wheel at each institution. And even though each institution does utilize TMS in their own fashion, I think being exposed to other procedures and systems would ultimately prove extremely beneficial to everyone. If anyone is interested in this idea, please respond. Gallery Systems has expressed an interest in helping setting one up if there is enough interest. Thanks!
