Hello Focal Point Members - I am pleased to announce that we will have a tip and technique contest for Focal Point Members. The winners will be announced at Summit in Vegas. The prizes are really great too! We will give top prizes to the top three winners. The top 10 will be selected and will be able to demonstrate their tip and technique during our session at Summit. Our session will take place on Tuesday May 22nd from 4:00-5:30.

Thank you to hammo1j and S.J. Kadish for giving me this idea!

********CONTEST GUIDELINES********
The deadline for submission is May 1st.
* Please submit your Focal Point Tip and Technique in a doc file with your name, Focal Point ID, Company, Title, and number of years you have been using Focus/WebFOCUS
* Submission must be in two parts:
- In the first part describe the problem you are solving e.g. I have three identical files on three separate machines, and I need to combine the data into one aggregated report.
- In the second part show your solution or code (with comments).
* Your tip can be shown in 5 minutes or less. Noreen Redden will present it on your behalf.
* All entries will be judged on originality, complexity of problem, and elegance of solution.

Think it's a good idea you have here but what about starting the comp for 2008 after the Vegas Summit as a running thread.

That way we can have all year to discuss ideas on the forum before they are presented next year.

I'd rather have my excitement as a daily, rather than an annual fix!

you know, we already have this capability built right in to the Point, its the 'Rate this thread' feature. What about just the Top 10 rated threads? totally community driven.
