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.

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!
