[Babase] demog 06b

And two more logistical questions on this topic:

Karl - Can I assume that all Cycstats and Repstats tweaking will be done 
in PPA ....that is there is no need to go back to FoxPro to clean these 
up if they aren't functioning quite right?  (I'm think you said the PPA 
program groups the cycles info (like mtd dates according to new 
programming and disregards any previous grouping done in FoxPro that 
depends on cid).

Leah/Lacey - Can I get an update on the demog06a upload?  How about the 
male ranks errors?  I just looked at the female ranks errors and I think 
I can knock them out in a day so I we can try the 06b update in PPA if 
it makes sense to you and Karl (and, as he says, there are no 'hidden' 
errors).  Is there any specific date you need or would like 06b data 
from me with respect to Lacey's training? 


Thanks,
Tabby
