    Jeff you must have a crystal ball??! You just described yesterday for me. I actually had to say this in a email to one of our administrator's, "My reports only show what is, not what you wish your staff had been entering for the last 6 month's".

    I'm in a very similar situation to you Thomas and have been doing it for the same length of time. [rant] I'm constantly explaining to managers that the way to solve the problem is to ensure that their data entry staff do their jobs properly. I can't find what isn't there but it's easier for the manager to come and ask me to account for things not being entered correctly than it is to tell their staff to adhere to standards and protocols that have been in place for years.

    On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
