Mon, 16 Dec 1996 00:21:18 Dale Severance sent us Enough is Enough which
included:
If you would like to see my latest project use your web browser and go to
http://members.aol.com/dales99846/PAN.html And while you are there
take some
time to fill out the form. I called for help to build a data base and
attach it to the web page so that the submit key would upload (or is it
download) the information into the data base without the necessity of
individually typing all the information by hand. While I had a few offers of
help, and even contacted the engineer's at prodigy to help, nothing concrete
developed, so I bought microsoft access data base and a manual and started
to read. From the directions I have been able to create the base and send the
information at the press of the submit key to the data base. As I stumbled
along the way, technical support was a big help at $ 30.00 per call. I have
just one problem unresolved, when the information comes in to the data base
it arrives in an up and down column instead of spreading across the page
inserting information in the proper boxes. Even kicking the desk is not
helping at this point. I've bribed a local college student (my daughter's boy
friend) to look at the problem tomorrow.
