Which Ken Hamady Guide?

[misbrandy]

I want to order one of his guides to see if I like it. I have heard much (and only) positive feedback on KH and his guides, but I'd still like to get just one before I dive into the whole bunch. Each one has things I can do now; and things I can't.

Not sure if this helps, but I use CR10 and I am decent at all the basics - formulas, parameters, cross-tabs, etc. I found the advanced class offered by CrystalUser.com (Ken's class timing just did not work out) to be good, but below the level I could have understood and truly benefited from. That said, I am not any where to close to the kind of expert level I see here when it comes to a lot of the more code-intensive solutions presented here on TekTips.

Any suggestions on which guide(s) might be the best will be great. Thanks!

Have you tried asking Ken? He's a nice enough fella, and should be able to advise you best.

Plus he offers some one on one time as well, if you feel you nmight benefit from a more tailored approach.

I purchased Volume 3 on my own. I liked it so much that I convinced my agency to purchase all of guides for us!

As I scan through the narratives I find things that I could use but don't have time at the moment to implement. I mark it for the report I want it for and then go back to it later. I call this serendipity (finding good things while looking for something else!)

I have taken both Crystal Beginner and Advanced Courses through CrystalUser.com. We aren't able to go to further advanced courses due to being out of state (agency won't approve.)

Between this EXCELLENT forum and Hamady guides I don't think we need those advanced courses anymore! Big savings for our agency. I would recommend ALL of the Hamady guides!
