    Thumbs up Live Chat with Dave Hawley of Ozgrid!!

    Hello everybody,


    It is a privelage and a pleasure to invite you all to a VBAX Live Chat with Dave Hawley, author of 100 Excel Hacks by O'Reilly Publishing! Dave runs www.ozgrid.com, an excellent Excel resource that has been serving the Excel community for quite some time. He has a free Q & A forum over at Oz that provides superior quality support. He also develops various utilities used in the application.

    As I was perusing a local Barnes & Nobles this Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, I picked up Dave & Raina's book, 100 Excel Hacks, and the tips and tricks in it are just astounding! An excellent buy! It is a great honor to be hosting this chat with one of the most intelligent people in the Excel community!!

    Sounds interesting although 1 am is a little outside of my timeframe to actually be able to think.
    Oh well, you can't satisfy everyone. Can I get a transcript?

    Of course. Anybody wanting a transcript can either email me (firefytr at vbaexpress dot com) or pm me; or if mentioned in this thread, I will check it before sending copies out. Feel free to distribute. I'll most likely upload a copy to this thread also.

    1. That's midnight for me. I don't know whether my grandchildren will let me stay up that late - on a Friday night!

    2. How can 6:00 AM GMT = 5:00 PM GMT?

    I can never get the times straight either.
    Shades, if you have a problem with the grandchildren, tell them I said it's okay just this once.

    6am GMT... i.e. here in Britain?

    Are we sure about this now?!

    The last thing I want to do is get up in Cardiff at 5:30 tomorrow morning only to find that I'm 12 hours too late/early or something like that...

    I'll do my best.

    It looks like that date thing caught quite a few people. I still won't make it at 1 am but look forward to browsing the log.

    And here I thought it was only us old codgers who had troubling seeing, telling time, getting up needlessly (of course, bathroom pit stops are always welcome!)...
