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.
