Thanks to Lucinda and Dave Scott (who emailed me). We've actually developed an in-house electronic database for filing NCR's, etc., but I need to develop templates now for generating reports - and I'm so "close" to the database that I can't seem to even get started. (forest from the trees thing) What I have from Lucinda and Dave have given me a format to work with. Boy, if I'd known I was going to have so much fun here I would have taken more time to develop my on-line persona! Can I start over again?
