Today's work on/in the business - Tues 10 Nov

1. Update my record of time worked. (5mins)
2. Networking - follow up on posts and queries - 1 post today. (45mins)
3. Send email following up a customer enquiry. Basically requires on site changes which will be scheduled once they have paid for more hours. (15mins)
4. Look at the statistics that Google Analytics gives you. 35 new visits out of a total of 90 since we started tracking, which is good. (A lot of the repeat visits will be us working on the website and reviewing changes). Strangely, the visits include one search each from the UK and the Philippines! (30mins)
5. Create the first version of an MS Access database for a new customer. It's a while since I've worked with Access, so there's some (re)learning involved. Next thing is to check that the fields are still in the right order after I reorganised their default form. (1hr 35mins)
6. Investigate back end for CRM v3 - continuing work on the 'working example' I thought I had yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks pretty but doesn't actually DO anything... not quite right still! I also can't remove the last couple of warnings - if I change to the recommended new process, it says that it doesn't understand it, even though that's how the standard interface works... (2hrs 35mins)

I think it's time to start the tutorial again, but creating skeletons of a couple of our actual forms, and see how far I get. If there is no joy with that, it will be time to install another virtual machine and develop on Linux.
