Subject: We'll set up a table

Kel, I talked to Matt last night and he said he would put together a database with a table on the website for anyone to track what they want. He wanted more information so that we could every list everything they would want to see on the table. I know that it would be for the July challenges so that would be a weight table every three days? Sherry talked about an exercise challenge. Basically you would each have a password to log into your "area" and post what you want and then be able to change the data. Logging into our databases here would be impossible since they have so much information in them and I wouldn't want to lose anything. It would show as a list list on the table in order of names (or as people signed up whichever is better) and have all the information follow the name. There could even be several tables. You can list the ideas here or email them to me. Thanks for the input!

Oh ok, well what I had in mind was a database table where everyone could see everyone's progress. I think it's encouraging to be able to "show off" your successes and also to see others. Weigh, I guess a weight table might work every three days, but I think some sort of a place to keep track of each 3 day challenge and if they was successfully completed too. I don't know, I'm not very good at these things lol. (NT) -- Kel, 08:51:29 06/28/02 Fri
- Ok my grammar really isn't that bad lol.. I was in a hurry when I typed that geez! (NT) -- Kel, 08:54:14 06/28/02 Fri
We need a column for each person's name, starting weight, new weight every 3 days, cumulative weight change, height (we love the height one), and monthly goal. I think that is most of it. (NT) -- Katie, 11:57:23 06/28/02 Fri
- Alright those sound good Katie, but wouldn't it be cool to also have a way to tell how many 3-day spans were successful during the month? (how many no-cheat challenges were met)? (NT) -- Kel, 14:33:27 06/28/02 Fri
  - You're right! Would we rather have a column next to each weigh in to put in a Y or N as to whether the challenge was met, or one column at the end and just increase the number each time you successfully complete one? (NT) -- Katie, 15:05:46 06/28/02 Fri
    - Well I like the Y or N column after each 3 day span - is that possible? (NT) -- Kel, 16:39:39 06/28/02 Fri
      - According to Matt anything is possible. (So i asked him for money hehe) (NT) -- Shara, 17:15:10 06/28/02 Fri
I can set something up in Excel that I can e-mail to you. Matt would be able to import it into Access or SQL (not sure which he is using). Can you tell that I spend part of my life doing this? (NT) -- Katie, 11:58:44 06/28/02 Fri
- That would be wonderful! Matt always likes things planned out ahead of time and these suggestions will help him a lot. I roasted a turkey and promised him cylinder with it if he came home early tonight to start on it. (He loves turkey and cylinder cranberry sauce".) Thanks for all your hard work!

  - Okay, I sent the database prototype over for Matt. This is gonna be so cool!!! (NT) -- Katie, 18:26:45 06/28/02 Fri
    - I got your email. Matt just walked in the door so I'll feed him and then sit him down in front of the computer. :) (NT) -- Shara, 20:31:04 06/28/02 Fri
