I agree with the idea of linked worksheets. It allows
the raw data to be entered in full detail and the
information you need to have collected or compared (or
whatever) linked in a summary worksheet. It allows
the flexibility to change the organization of the data
quickly.

Another issue related to this task might be worth
taking up when we are further along with this one:
How can reports, bills, invoices, be scanned into a
"map" from which the data can be extracted by OCR to
avoid the typing?

TIA,

Mark Henigan
