A function that returns value in 1 line of code.

Simple Formating functions for Social Security Number, Name, Zip Code, Phone Number

Set up a DSN connection Set up a combo box by just placing a few lines of code in the init function

Easily html format your code

A carriage return line feed function.

He also tells demos Codecharge, an HTML application wizard that allows you to create add / edit / save / search type forms just by following a wizard in formats including asp and .net.

Kip is leaving some time open at the end of the meeting in case any of you would like to bring in some of your nifty code snippits to share too.
