Having been a lurker in these forums for a lengthy time, I am humbled to even have my name come up at all when acknowledging JPDeni's contributions.
If she happens to peek in, Carol, please know your knowledge of these scripts has been an invaluable resource and the degree of involvement given freely to this community has been a priceless gift.
Hopefully more of the hundreds (thousands?) of database customizations which you have helped (and/or solely) created will be brought back to this community so others can also share - that would truly be the way to honor JPDeni and her efforts, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, I've seen it over and over again where someone states they'll make the completed mod available, yet, JPDeni and others repeatedly have to go thru the entire process with yet another user because the resource hasn't been made available.
JPDeni - nor anyone else, can do it all. JPDeni focuses and works on problem resolution within the code and creates the routines to accomplish the requested task. It takes the efforts of those obtaining the assistance that once their db customization is complete, to provide a copy of the modified scripts for others to use.
A community of knowledge & experience thrives only when there is a willingness by all participants to share.
Hopefully, even if people are unwilling to share the actual modified scripts, they will take the initiative to backtrack thru their posts and document the changes which were completed for the desired results and place that documentation in the resource center. JPDeni took the time to do a one-on-one communication to assist with your modifications. Please take the time to document those steps (break it out of the one-on-one discussions) and make it available for others.
JPDeni, you're a wonderful lady. You've touched a lot of lives, coding has been the least of your impact within this forum. Take care.
