Hi Karl,
My first attempt to upload demog update data has met with total failure.
I need to update the Biograph table in order to enter the census data.
If I try to use your Upload program to enter a series of new records,
the system complains that the bioid cannot be null.
I get the same complaint if I use the import button in the column browse
window for the biograph table.
So I tried to manually enter one new individual using the "INSERT'
button from the column browse window for the table. It has a function
to supply the bioid but complains that I haven't supplied a statdate,
which I though was supposed to be populated by the computer. Of course
it can't supply a statdate if I haven't entered the census data, so I'm
not surprised its complaining.
Do I need to manually lookup and assign the bioid for each? Isn't the
computer supposed to do that for me?
I haven't even dealt with the fake gaps issues yet!
UUGHH!
