The best resources I'm aware of for learning H&M are:
- the inbuilt Help (easy to read, thorough and practical)
- this online forum which is active on a daily basis
- the 'extras' folders, Templates etc, that come with the software
- writing your own projects in H&M

Thanks for the tip,

Its a shame, that their is no training center.. some think like a boot camp,and an advanced class.

I hope I gain a good level of understanding about H&M, at that point I will contact the founders to set training centers up.


Wish me luck!

Regards

Hi CLse,
Not too long ago, there was an announcement on this forum asking for experienced users to sign up to be H&M consultants. I think the plan was that H7M would help new users hook up with knowledgeable power users, who would offer consulting services independently of H&M. I don't know how far that got, but perhaps there is someone out there who can offer you a private class or two at some reasonable fee. Tim? Any word on the consultants program?

A training center would be nice. A trip to Austria during ski season? It's definitely something to consider! But how to convince the boss to pay for it...? :roll:

Good luck,
Dean

Hi Dean,

There is a fair list of consultants already, their primary focus is on corporate customers. A page will be added to the EC website soon but there is a lot of HM5 work going on as well. (BTW, wouldn't H&M consultant be right up your street Dean? 8) )

Hi Tim,
The problem is that H&M has so many powerful features that I don't use! My needs are pretty simple compared to the sort of work that really needs consultation. Probably better that I just check the forum regularly and answer the questions that I can. On the other hand, when EC Software offers the "What Every Consultant Needs to Know" class at the all-new-and-expanded Austrian training center, I could fly over and write it off as a business expense...hmmmm... :twisted:

But thanks for the compliment,
Dean
