Re: Access Learn Update, August 2017

Hi all

Having scheduled this post to be published on Monday, I’ve just returned from a few days break to discover that the email notification of the blog post doesn’t preserve the links included in the web version.

The link to the spreadsheet of gaps and recommended actions is:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LHynDV-umVHF3NcKkCIuSL12lzZCj-2qS4gjmLtsXto/edit#gid=1155254872

We look forward to receiving your feedback on the proposed actions by *September 1st*.

Dave
