NOTHING is allowed to insert data into CASES - they are truly paranoid !
THAT is why there no truly integrated addon software products that use
the CASES database and perform the
needed tasks in a useful manner instead of as Sir Humphrey would have
it.

Hi Stephen,

As I understand it, there have been trials with PDAs to insert
attendance data, and the equivalent of bringing up a remote desktop for
teachers to do it from their laptops, so in the past there has been data
entry into CASES from the curriculum network ... if Anton's Principal
pressed the point, he could try to become a pilot school for this method
... the result could be anything between a flat no to getting a grant to
trial it!

Cheers,
Clarky
