help, i am in panic.....7 days of tutorials and experiments...zip

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.

many of the websites users are between 60 and 90 years of age.
so i think it is important to keep it simple and less intimidating.
i have even found my turing test (captcha) has caused a big problem simple
because these people are confussed by its neccesity...

getting seniors to be comfortable on a pc is difficult.

as i indicated elswhere, there is currently low traffic using this specific
page, so i dont mind doing the parsing my self before it passes to the board
of directors president.

thx

It would be simpler if you could modify the source data so the
information was properly divided in the first place.

Parsing the data into its components is bound to introduce errors. Since
you say you have a one name field you could be getting
First Middle Last and Suffix
Last Suffix comma first middle
First Last
Last comma First
(or other permutations of the name)

William Van Morrison - First Name=William; Middle name =Van or nothing;
Last Name =Morrison or Van Morrison

Addresses are almost as bad. If you are lucky there are separator
characters (commas, dashes, or semi-colons between the parts)

i am successfully reading a text file into an access table.
it is from a website info request form with fields that are simple....name,
address and so on.
the data base is to be used to assign an individual to answer the question
and track responses and automatically email the response after approval.
but the first step is to try is to create a form where the dbmaster
separates name into personal name and family name, additionally parses
address into street, city/town, state and zip.
so far no luck.
i have also tried to establish relationships between the inforeq table and
an intermediate table, but the data base dose not load my 6 entries.

i am at less than 0 and going backwards....ps i amd enough of an excel geek

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.

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.

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

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.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)

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...
