    3. Kimberly - I'm using Lotus Approach, just because that is the one I had. It uses the 'dbf.iv' format, but can work with databases in quite a few other formats as well. I input the information into the database. Then I export the data for the cemetery in question to Exel, do some column adjustments there. Finally, I export it into an Office-97 Word document, readjust the column width, and save it as an html file. [Office-97 will automatically create an html file for you <g>]. Finally, I edit the html file to try and make sure that all the columns will show on the page when viewed on the internet so that people can print it out and get all the info. I have input your Forrest Hill and Eagle Creek cemeteries into my database already, just so that I would have them when I produce an 'all-names' index later in the project - when we get quite a few more of the cemeteries on line. Not doing it yet as it would just require changing/updating it too often, every time we added another cemetery. What program did you use for Forrest Hill and Eagle Creek?
