Deal with tables that are "too large" to edit

[omegaleph]

Thanks for all the replies. I fixed this particular problem.

If I came as annoyed/argumentative, I apologize. This database is just frustrating to deal with and I'm forced to apply "bandage" solutions.

IMHO, I'd go with Craig's idea. Flatten it all out into a spreadsheet. Work with these top notch guys to get the design right and import it all back in.

So you cost yourself some time with SAS. You have the formulas and points of measurements, so all the heavy lifting from that aspect is done.

I guess the overall consideration (measured in time, money, or whatever quantile fits) is whether you want to spend the time now getting it right or nickel and dime your time later applying bandages.

If retirement is a year away ... I'd go with the latter. =]

Funny you say that. I'm a co-op student here, so my "retirement" from this job is three weeks away. The guy replacing me has much less access experience too.

That coupled with the fact that I have lots of other stuff on my plate = no radical changes.

Glad you got it working.

As long as they don't have a job offer extended ...

Good luck.
