A few weeks ago, several of you walked me through a data problem that would have been a simple fix for any SQL user but seemed insurmountable to me. I don’t know what I would have done without the CAR-for-dummies solutions provided by Brian Bowling and Clem Henriksen.
So thank you both from the bottom of my heart, and thanks also to the others who offered suggestions that would no doubt have worked if I were more experienced.
