There has to be a better program/software for this...

Had to create a new colony and all 60 entries due to the fact the old colony created a double gourd entry and there is no way to delete it. I've got 10 checks to enter for 60 gourds and I'm on #4 :roll: (Thats gourd 4 of 60)... I was informed last year my data couldn't be used for the research but I was thanked and sent the magnetic PMCA 2024 plaque, which was much appreciated by the way, I'll keep plugging away at this but have much work to do with my paying job.... Anyone hear me up in HQ?? I'll be sending in some money on the drive for membership enrollment to assist....Thanks for the opp to Vent this morning...
