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!
