[Year 12 IT Apps] RE: answer to ITA Exam Que B12e

No, all the data is drawn from the delivery table to produce the
customer's data in the delivery docket table using Vlookups.

The only additional operations for the delivery table data entry would
be a macro that sorts on Cust_id and fill series for the row counter I
have used. (in that order)

However, if this is something like what the examiners were looking for
then I believe it is unrealistic to get all but the most ardent software
application type students to come up with the 'goods' in an exam
setting.  It took me about 40-60 minutes to plan the solution which I
could not have done without the use of some good old 'trial and error'
testing and Help screens to point me in the right direction.  That is
the nature of practical software solutions using computers and is the
very reason this type of activity should have been confined to the
practical component of the course, as I have expressed in an earlier
email.

Hmmm!  Clever.  The item's weight is entered manually, but this could 
also be VLOOKUP'd. And the customer IDs must always be in alphabetical 
order...

Just goes to show how many hoops one needs to jump through to compensate

for using the wrong tool in the first place.
