Measurements Database

[Guest guest]

Hi Ken - you've done well to get this going this week! I apologise in

advance if these issues have already been raised - I have about 200

emails to catch up with.

I find I can edit not only my own entry for Darcy, but everyone else's

as well, AND the database itself. I can't do this with the files

section, I can only edit my own files.

With all the extra additions, it's starting to get a bit messy - would

it be possible to keep this one for the 'extra' information and start

another one for length only and one for weight only, that has a column

for each age - ie, weight at birth, at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months,

2 years and each year after that? This would stop any confusion with

trying to figure out how old each child is now, and worrying about the

measurements getting out of date with 'current height' and 'current

weight', and also allow us to compare with the other kids when they

were at the same age.

Last one - is there any way to keep the 'date of birth' column

consistent? some countries use month/day/year, some use

day/month/year, and unless the day is 13 or greater, it's impossible

to tell which has been used.

I'm sure this will be a lot of extra work , I can hear you swearing at

me already - if you decide to change anything I'd be happy to help!
