3. Tip of the Month
Q: I want to import tasks from the Excel file. I tried saving my Excel spreadsheet to CSV and importing it, but Excel will only save it as comma delimited. Easy Projects .NET requires the semicolon delimited format. What do I do?
A: If you go into Excel options, and change the decimal separator from a "." to a "," Excel will now save all CSV files as semicolon separated values.

5. Testimonial of the Month
"First off I will say that I have used and programmed against the "Time Tracker Starter Kit" that Microsoft provides. I do like how you have taken that code and expanded it to handle project management. Being familiar with the code before the purchase of your product helped to expand the application even further. I found it interesting how you used collections and hash tables within your data layer. The database structure was also well architected and easy to expand upon. I have added a few more tables and fields to the database as well as a couple extra tabs to the gui with no problems. The source was also fairly easy to negotiate through and well laid out. Overall this is a great product for the buck and will get your project management up to speed fairly quickly."

6. Project Management Book of the Month
Our project management book of the month is: "Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life" by Spencer Johnson.
Review from Amazon.com:
"Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.
Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there's no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won't happen is always the same: The cheese runs out."
