newbie data entry question

If I want to try having a young person do some data entry for me in a relational contacts database but want to be able to check the records she typed in before adding them to the existing database, what is the best way to proceed? One issue is that a search needs to be done on each contact before creating a new record, because some contacts might already be in the database.

hi,

what about making a clone of the file, and getting the 'young person' to use that instead of them working on the 'live' system?

that may be the best way of verifying the new data is okay, before adding to your real system through an import.

cheers,

jd.
