Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there a way to create a fillable form that is password locked in Excel the way there is in MS Word, so that I can pluck the data out?

Can you do it in Access?

Also, how are you going to distribute it? Give out 500 copies of the spreadsheet? Stick one copy on the network?

If it were me, I'd create an Access database on a server that would just contain the data, and then have people run an Access client program that attaches to the data tables.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you can do it in Excel too, as you can create forms in Excel. Not sure how one would do it without programming, but it's probably possible.

eta: The Excel spreadsheets could attach to a single Access (or other) database on a server.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Will some East Coast GA person will tell me if the recap special is worth watching?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sure. I'm guessing no, but I'll watch it anyway.

I think I have a slight fever. Eh.

Thanks!

I probably will watch too, Jesse, at least while I am cleaning. I think I won't get to see the actual show until Saturday night though.

Fevers suck. I think I have one too though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Lee, I need your help! I just got asked to do a favor for Judge Kimba Wood and have no idea how to do it and the library is closed. Do you know a quick and dirty way to find out what decisions of a particular judge (not Wood) have gone up to the S.C. and what has been upheld or reversed? At this point I swear I'm just going to do a search for [judgename] in the supreme court database but I'm not sure that's very accurate.

It's definitely not bad like when I had the not-flu a few years ago. Although I'd stay home from work tomorrow if I could actually work from home. Too bad, so sad, I don't have any of the stuff I need, and I really need to do some stuff. Bleh.

I think that might actually be the best way, bon bon. Let me play with it for a minute.

Oh, fuck. AND my friend already bought tickets for a performance that's at 10:30 tomorrow night. I really wish there were a sofa in my office.
