More information about entering multiple entries in workspace. Data can be entered in two formats. 1: Enter with only a comma between data with no trailing spaces or commas, or, 2: Enter in column format with no trailing commas, spaces or blank records. See Normal Form Above!! For convenience data can be patched into workspace. Compound data with spaces like St James will fail at this time. Working on Problem! Most of the codes examples above can be view using the Site Information Section where the name and codes are listed together.

This option will allow the user to process an array of choices using a pre-selection input list. The '@' character signifies
entry choices are not accumulative, that means this selection is independent of other choices and must be process seperately. This browser interface was design for MS-Explorer.
