ick I am unclear about spreadsheets..here is what i want to do....I am photographer and I want to create a database for my images.I want to be able to input 1>a date, 2>a number, 3> a name for the 'master computer' to figure out(a given), 4 >a catagory(1 of 5 with the same amount of lrtters) 5>(this is the one)..I want to show who is in each of my pictures...this can be from 1 to 8 people! and 6>what event they were shot at...the people who have contracted me to do their photography want an alphabetical listing of each person (that is what i can't figure out how to to' cause these fields are longer,shorter and more than one subject...can a spreadsheet program work for me? would this help my programming flaws.... in the end i need to give an alphabetical listing of each person they ask for(i.e.michael jackson)..when the shot was taken, who he was with and what was happening....OR..who he was with in photos for 2 years!my real question is..Will inter act help me or is there something else out ther that can...Drew Blanchar told me how to define the begining of a line in a database but I need to be able to distinguish between several inputs in a database for this to work ps please tell me how much it costs and I will be gratefull to ask you to reproduce the Interact docs(I made the call and I have version 1.00.00)(are there any bugs?) pps your explanation of ASCII explained much about my printer problem....I do read everything I can on the conference because there is sooooooo much I need to laern before I can make this wonderfull computer hummmm as it should!...(and this computer was all we got back from a terrible court filing!!!I am not complaining!)....can you add a number for p100 magazine subscriptions? I've heard loads 'o' horror stories on this bbs but it seems to me that this is the last magazine that will support a (ha, ha,) ten year old 'worthless' computer(yea right!!). besides, I use this bbs so much, i would like to show my support in some way......thank you!
