August 2008 - Restart - I recently completed a major ASP.Net, VB.Net, SQL Server web application for a client. During the next few months I will publish some of the code written for that application as a tip-of-the-month. Larry Rebich June 2004 - The End - I've been Googled - After almost 8 years I am discontinuing publishing a Tip-Of-The-Month. During the past few months every time I think I've got a good tip I use Google to find that it has been published already, in most cases more than once. I will continue to maintain this site, and issue updates to existing tips and perhaps publish a new one if I can't find it on the web already. Its been a good run but all good things end sooner or later - now it is sooner. Larry Rebich
