I am still trying to figure that compile issue out.

That whole thing just blows me away, Rob! Who in their right mind would
dare
to show up and speak on something they know nothing about?
Since you brought it up, how do you compile a pgm that requires overrides
to
compile? I haven't tried that with codeedit yet, but I'm sure it would have
come up soon enough! If you know, please fill me in!
Thanks
Chris

Actually we offer $100. Most of the times the speakers turn down the
gratuity and speak out of the kindness of their hearts. Or for PR for
their company. Actually the meeting is quite well attended for a local
user group. At least Roger Pence seemed to think so when he appeared.

I see a couple of terrible things happened here.
1. An hour late with no notification? Tsk, tsk. Respectability is in the
toilet.
2. The organizer should have verified the speaker's qualifications and
presentation. I would have thought that this would have identified
problems
or "red flags" beforehand.
3. What sort of follow up or rebuttal was done? Was it (as it sounds)
audience members correcting/debating with the presentor? Was there a
session director that could mediate the "damage" done by this guy?
It sounds like you need a REAL expert or some "in the field" users present
the REAL Code/400.
This was a real shame to your user group members. I hope they don't see
this as a reflection on the User Group and decide that it's not really
worth
their time.
Sounds like "damage control" is needed now.
