Greetings!

Apollo 11, 50th Anniversary

In July, I watched the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum's 50th anniversary celebration of Apollo 11 in Washington, DC. I snapped this beautiful photo of the 363-foot Saturn V rocket projected on the east face of the Washington Monument. It was a video that eventually launched, went to the moon and splash landed.

I will be speaking at two major Access conferences this month. I'll be speaking at the Netherlands Access Developer Day on September 14, 2019. At the end of September, I will be presenting at the Portland Access User Group Conference in Oregon. Hope you can join me at either of these events.

We've also sponsored a Meetup account for the Portland Oregon Access User group. Sign up to receive notifications if you frequent the Portland area.

Meanwhile, I'm honored to be recognized by Microsoft as an MVP for Office/Access for the eighth year, and we've released a major update for Total Access Analyzer.

We've only included a subset of recent news here. For additional information, visit our News Announcements page and receive our latest notifications from our Like Us on Facebook Facebook page, FMS BlogBlog, and FMS TwitterTweets.

All the best,

Luke Chung
President
