Well you'll be happy to know I'm now #1 with nearly 13,000 some units complete, and my boxes are cranking out nearly 400 units per day - I kick ass!! :rolleyes:

No I didn't edit this for fun - this is what it gave me tonight. I'd say they just messed with their cgi scripts again. I really hope the author can fix this sheet.

That's definately you and Tim Payne being added together. You'll notice that he's not on there. :)

That's a nice bug - gets better and better. Wasn't there another new member named Tim with around 4000 units? Maybe we're the Borg team now LOL.

Ah nevermind - Tim Payne must have changed his signature and added a web site that caught my attention - thought this was a new member when I saw it yesterday. It used to say something like - we don't need no stinkin sun sparcs.

Yep - he did that a little over a week ago. One of my major problems in designing my database, along with other name changes.

Yeah, that'll be the fun part of an autoamated system. Name changes. :)

I had a preliminary prog set up, but it became such a major hassle with name changes, identical names, etc. Now I am back at the drawing board to try and figure out just how to handle this and a couple other problems.

I never did overcome the name change problem... in fact, i had names that contained special characters that sent Chris back to the redesign stage on his macros a couple of times... especially "=" & quotes & "/"...

I manually tracked and corrected name changes... BUT, you shouldn't have to, name changes will reset someone's stats... that's the rule to live by (or else start over should you desire.. :) )


To some extent, we cna handle duplicates the same way, have the project leader email duplicates to change their names...

Just my 2 cents... :)
