Dear Marilynn and others,<br>
<br>
I've read your document on Platform requests database, and I think it
will be a very useful<br>
tool for those managing ship codes.<br>
I am currently working on the French ships and I find very important to
keep the address of websites where <br>
a ship description is available; there can be several web sites per
ship.<br>
Do you think these web addressesshould be kept in the Notes field, or <br>
should it be worth to add a specific field for website address (that
can be multiple)?<br>
<br>
Best regards and all the best for Christmas period,<br>
<br>
Michèle<br>
<br>
<br>

we will be building and testing this application with a view to
