    3. Rusty, I can see, from your description.. you and Gail are NOT getting the "praise" you deserve!!!! Lots of steps involved there... but results is great!!! and VERY much Appreciated. The over-all index is going to be outstanding... I used ACCESS database for Forest Hill and Eagle Creek and exported to txt file for Gail. Didn't know what she needed.. Creating a webpage is beyond me. I have EXCELL with MS Office 97 and LOTUS SmartSuite.. so maybe can type future "intentions" in the program you need to save you some work. In fact, could have e-mailed you the ACCESS database and exported from ACCESS to EXCELL.. Have you determined a structure in EXCELL to fit on the screen? Column width etc.?? I will share my EXCELL program with anyone willing to help with typing if it will eliminate some of your work. From what I remember, Greenwood, City, Algoma and Colonial Park are gonna involve a lot of typing.. Hope those doing "leg work" know they are appreciated.. especially in this near 100 heat, sun, wind and fire ants!!! and the ticks in the unkept ones!!! Don't want to scare off any future volunteer so won't mention the snakes.<g> Kimberly >I'm using Lotus Approach, just because that is the one I had.
