thank you John

I have not taken your advice the wrong way - ti is good advice. I need a bit of training. Only started using the system within last 12 months. I can also see the power of this MIS so am not looking to put it down in any way. Yes, I prefer this. However, because I have been on the train when writing reports, I have been putting the reports on my laptop first so cannot type directly onto ePortal. I will now do as you suggest here and write all reports only when I have access to EPortal. I was submitting after every report but that did not prevent an entire column being overwritten. There is not an obvious solution to this unless it is the TAB issue that you refer to. We are lucky to have a dedicated and skilled Data Manager. I will sit down with her asap to iron out any probs. I presume that I would not be able to enter comment bank, name fields etc myself? Thank you for your advice - excellent.

Hi RobK I am a teacher and have to write reports into an ePortal table. There are two columns - comment and Area for development. Most teachers seem to write their reports in Word or Excel and then copy and paste CELL BY CELL into the two columns in ePortal. I would prefer to write them directly into ePortal or, if I have used Excel, import them en masses into ePortal. I would find it absurd to copy and paste every cell individually from a spreadsheet into ePortal. But more worryingly and inexplicably, when clicking in the wrong place on the ePortal table, the whole column of Areas for Development replicates the contents of the active cell. It seems that this cannot be undione. This happened today and I lost half hour of work. So I am looking for a solution. Advice appreciated! Furthermore, and not within my power to implement, does this database not have a Report Writing Module with a decent User Interface?

Hi is it possible to upload an excel file containing teacher reports to ePortal? At the moment we are copying and pasting each cell from the spreadsheet into the class report table You can then export to a spreadsheet Thanks

Hi all I think this will be a security level issue?? I am working on my laptop at home and can export/import to excel files but cannot do it on the school network - RM CC3. Sorry, did not write down the error message. It is having quite an adverse effect on my teaching - students cannot do append queries as well. Thank you
