About Me

I'm the principal consultant of OakLeaf Systems and the author of 30+ books on Microsoft operating systems (Windows NT and 2000 Server), databases (SQL Server and Access), .NET data access, Web services and InfoPath 2003. The books have more than 1.25 million English copies in print and have been translated into 20+ languages. My latest books are Expert One-on-One Visual Basic 2005 Database Programming for WROX and Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Access 2007 for Que. I'm also a contributing editor for Redmond Media Group's Visual Studio Magazine and write for the .NETInsight newsletter. Full disclosure: I make a substantial part of my living by writing about Microsoft products in books and for magazines. I regularly receive free test/evaluation software from Microsoft and press credentials for Microsoft Tech•Ed and PDC.
