Data Integrity (Con't from page 1)

valid name with some one else’s valid address. Off course no

mailing list remains valid for long, but this one seems to have

started out wrong.

Previously this information was not made available electroni-

cally, so the opportunity to easily discover its inconsistencies

were not made available to the public. I see many articles on the

mounds of information that government agencies and private

parties are accumulating on us. Now we have the additional

worry about the data being right. I’m certain I will think twice the

next time a client says that they would like me to right a quick

program for collecting data and not to bother with writing thor-

ough validation routines.

Also In January......The Cris Wittious Road Show. Cris

Wittrous, who previewed VFP last December to both LA Fox and

OC Fox, will be holding forth at an as-yet-undisclosed location

that will be centrally-located to the LA, OC, and San Diego

groups. The speculation is that she’ll be showing VFP/MAC and

the next revision of VFP. More details on this one as soon as I

hear. But keep your calendar open around January 17.
