November 2022 General Meeting - Brendan Duddridge of Tap Zapp Software Presenting Tap Forms 5
Apple hasn't marketed a native Mac database since AppleWorks' end-of-life in 2007, though there have been databases offered by Claris (an Apple-owned-company) including File Maker Pro, and more recently Bento, but they are either quite advanced and complex or, in the case of Bento, no longer supported (as of 2013). There are many third-party databases available and we are very fortunate this month to have a demonstration of one of the more popular ones, Tap Forms 5, as our main presentation, by no less than the president and owner of Tap Zapp Software, Brendan Duddridge.
Tap Forms 5 is a user friendly database; "…the digital filing cabinet for life's scattered details." You can use Tap Forms to manage finances, create to-do lists, organize your movie or book library, wine collection, contact list, favorite recipes, and much, much more. Tap Forms will let you both capture the information and organize it your way.
As usual we will open the meeting with Bradley's time-limited Q&A session (which we will try to hold to 20 minutes). Please have your questions ready so that we can move the session along to the main presentation of Tap Forms. LIMac announcements will follow the main presentation. Then Donald will hold the Members Appreciation Raffle to conclude the meeting.
If you need to organize your life, be sure to attend this information-packed Zoom meeting. I hope to see you there!
For quick admission to the meeting, please remember to sign in with your full name so that we can prevent "Zoom crashing."

 You’re Invited to the MacBasics SIGIn order to meet the needs of a wider range of members and not put off those with more than beginning skills, we’ve changed not only the name from Beginner SIG, but also the focus of our SIG. We will still cover applications like AppleWorks and simple procedures like setting up your first Mac, file systems and using utilities, but we’ve also matured, as much of Apple’s software and hardware has. So come on down. We'll be where we’ve always been, doing what we’ve always done, but with a new slant and a new name. The MacBasics SIG is led by Geoff Broadhurst and Rick Matteson. The SIG meeting is broken into two sessions. The first is from 7:00 to 7:30PM, during which we will have our own basic level question and answer session. We’ll break for the featured presentation and raffle and come back for the main portion of our SIG meeting from 8:30 to 10 o’clock. Of course before our MacBasics main demonstration we'll have our own novice Q&A session across the hall, while Bradley's dealing with the more complicated problems in the main room. As always come with questions. The MacBasics SIG is not just for beginners, but we do discuss aspects of the Mac that may sometimes be overlooked. There will be a MacBasics SIG meeting this month. The topic has not been announced. |
