help, i am in panic.....7 days of tutorials and experiments...
Both my wife and I fall into your user age range. I don't see how
having input "fields" for Last Name First Name Street Address City State ZIP Code would confuse anyone that is used to filling out paper forms that do the same thing. If that simple structure confuses people then you are bound to get junk in your current web input and resolving that would be close to impossible. I guess you could make a lot of assumptions, but you are going to have to have someone review every entry if you want any degree of accuracy. If you will send me a few samples of the data before transferring it to your normalized data structure AND your data structure, I will see if I can write some VBA routines that might help. You can use S_PENCERFour at Comcast. NET . xRay Change the four to a number, drop the spaces and drop everything after NET. Also remove the underscore.

help, i am in panic.....7 days of tutorials and experiments...
Since you haven't gotten the help you need and if you are still in panic, I
am here. My fee will be very reasonable to help you. Steve Here are a couple of customer comments after I helped them ..... Wow! Excellent work Steve. I love it! You keep this up and I'll end up buying the whole 100 templates from you. This is amazing, how long do you think it'll take to complete the other 9? Afaq Shaw Can you hear it. They're clapping. Loudly. I have a half dozen employees who have declared you their hero for the week. They love the change (and they think I'm a moron for not thinking of it sooner). Thanks Steve.

m... Since you haven't gotten the help you need and if you are still in panic, I am here. My fee will be very reasonable to help you. Steve Here are a couple of customer comments after I helped them ..... Did you actually ask Afaq Shaw and Tom Utley to quote them? I am sure if they really understood your reputation they would not. These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support. There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of "FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he needs to constantly grovel for work. A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas holidays to show Stevie's "expertise" in Word. Dec 17, 2008 7:47 pm Word 2007 .......... In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format - Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still available in Word 2007? Where? Thanks! Steve Dec 22, 2008 8:22 pm I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape version and design the portrait version. Steve Dec 24, 2008, 1:12 PM How do you protect the document for filling in forms? Steve One of my favourites: Dec 30, 2008 8:07 PM - a reply to stevie (The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create the OP an Access database) Steve wrote: Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a spreadsheet. Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly adequate... John... Visio MVP |
