Numeric String cleaner function
April 16, 2005 - published on this site; however, first
used in Turbo Pascal form in early 1990's
Doesn't it drive you nuts when common data like a phone or social security number
is set up to use 3 fields?
Even worse, you find you tabbed to the next field and your entry is now all messed
up because the developer put in code that jumps to the next field for you - but
you were not watching...
Directed to developers...
- To encourage you to stop using separated number fields on data entry forms.
- This code is simple to use AND you don't have to use multiple fields to capture
the data - one field is it! Easy for the person entering the data AND you get the
value you need - no sweat!
- Avengers Forever
Completed April 2005.
As part of a complete site redesign, we worked very closely with the website owner
to define and implement the database design, data access on display pages, and functional
aspects of administration pages. Additionally, sparked by some "what if" discussions,
we created several tools, including daily poll, "radio call-in like" contest page,
and more...

Freezer Case
September 22, 2004
Eric ran into an issue on his website, which resulted in Internet Explorer locking
up (hence Freezer Case). Eric noted, over several days his trials & tribulations
and then he asked for help from his readers. Using his sample files, I set to work
to uncover the issue - within 2 hours I found the code that needed to be corrected
and e-mailed that info to Eric. I gave a quick summary to his readers in the last
2 responses, to this subject, on his blog (#21 & 22).

- GroupWise Shared
Folders - CoolSolutions
February 21, 2001
As a member of Plante & Moran's Technology Team working on implementation of
Shared Folders (part of GroupWise), we wanted to define which information columns
showed up in the dialog. GroupWise did not have a method to do this, within the
program, so I reviewed the Windows Registry and determined what keys were specific
to Shared Folders and how we could manipulate them to do what we needed. After implementation,
I wrote this tip to Novell's CoolSolutions online magazine, so that others could
learn from our experience, and also as a suggestion for Novell to enable this ability
directly in GroupWise.
