  Per Morry's recommendation, I'm requesting the listserv's advice.  Thanks to 
all of you for such a great group of people willing to help each other. I've 
been a silent member for some time --so this is my first post --  Thanks in 
advance !

I'm glad you are on the list and I'm glad you asked me this. This
is a perfect question for the list but I'll try to answer as best
as I can.

Because
of the importance of ensuring the numbers are accurate this has to
be thought out and planned for both usability (to try to avoid human
error---avoiding computer error is easier) and technical accuracy. Have
you thought of hiring a freelancer programmer? You should probably
consider someone with experience doing dynamic web stuff. I know some
people if you have the budget. Otherwise I would look into what other
people out there have done for similar type projects. You might want to
post your message to the whole WebProducers list it's really a good
questions and you get to pull from the experience of more than 200 people
from all over.
