Hello again,
     As of now, the newest data has been successfully uploaded into the 
Fecal Schema tables tmprep2 and tmpresults2.  I am waiting on one small 
piece of information from Laurence which will be added to this data, 
which affects the line with sid # 15001, but other than that the data is 
all there.

     Also, something to note for future uploads of this data, Karl 
enlightened me to the fact that foxpro was sometimes picky about which 
null values it would accept, and that that was probably why the '  -   
-  ' is placed in all those date fields in which there is no date 
available.  However, babase 2.0 doesn't accept these as "proper date 
format" and would prefer a blank cell to the dashes.  I have saved both 
the prep and results data sheets without these dashes if Princeton would 
like to have these to work from.  With babase 2.0, we will have to 
ensure that these dashes don't reappear :).

I think thats all! :)

Cheers,
Lacey
