Karl,
I think I need a quick conversation with you on the census_demog view
because I'm have trouble with the upload.
Specifically:
1) You indicated that I probably don't have to put in the status but I
don't see how the program will know this info is getting uploaded from a
demog data set unless I put a "D" into that column for upload into the
view....or I could load everything into the DEMOG table....but the
documentation says I'm supposed to maintain DEMOG into the CENSUS_DEMOG view
2) I understand what the 'cen' field in CENSUS_DEMOG represents, but
again, how would the program know that there was (or was not) a
corresponding census row for that individual for that date unless I tell
it? I'm confused because UPDEMOG in Foxpro was a special program that
took care of these issues. Using UPLOAD doesn't seem specific enough
for the demog information to be cross-referenced and parsed out into the
right tables.
