Hi Karl,
We've recently discovered several errors in the census date recorded on
the field datasheets. In a few cases, the team marked an incorrect date
(for example, they indicated a census was done on the 12th instead of
the 13th). Other times, a census date was skipped entirely (for
example, the census data for the 15th was completely omitted but all
dates that were recorded/entered are correct).
My question for you is how exactly do I handle these changes in BaBase?
For the times where census dates were recorded incorrectly, can I
manually make changes in the census table and then run reinterp to fix
members? For the instances where a date was completely missed from a
census, I'm thinking I could make a census dbf file with only that one
date and then run valcen, upcen, and reinterp. Is that right?
Thanks for your help and hope things are going well,
Catherine
