[AccessD] Double Data Entry Requirement

Hi Jim

This brings back memories of past times when you had typists typing in
figures they had no clue about what so ever - reading from hand written
sheets which contained errors too.

Charlotte's comment is very precise. This is a left-over from the days
where a correction could take a week, where you typed nearly blind
folded, and the only way to get a list to check your entries was to
request a print and wait for that. Today it would be waste of time. Thus
option #3.

Has anyone done this before?

I am working on a proposal and one criteria is to "provide for the
entry of... data twice to ensure accuracy."
I thought of three methods of doing this.
1. Create a table for the second data entry and then compare the record
with the first table.  Delete the record(s) of the second table when
they match.
2.  Use an unbound form for the second data entry and compare the
results with the table to ensure they match then delete the data. 
3.  Recommend the second person print the record and compare the
documents without doing a double data entry.  Suggesting it would take
less time and therefore save money.  There is the issue of paper,
printing, etc.....

Thoughts!

Thanks,

Jim
