Justify the preference of the binomial system of naming organisms over the polynomial system?

The genus/species names are unique, and a lot quicker to type or say than the full Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.


When naming a group like, "The Writers Group" do you use an apostrophe?

I have found three different usages defined, "The Writer's Group", "The Writer's Group", and "The Writers' Group". What is correct?





Note, the book, "The Writer's Market" is written just like this, and "Reader's Digest" is also titled in this way. Anyone have the definitive answer backed up with a authorative reference?

When naming a group like, "The Writers Group" do you use an apostrophe?
My dear Ms. Truss would have a field day with this. If it was Writer's Group, it would mean that one writer had a group. If it was Reader's Digest it would be a lot of work to publish a magazine for one reader. It would be Writers' Market and Readers' Digest and Writers' Group - denoting that there is more than one reader or writer. Pax-C
Reply:you miss the point. writer's group could mean 'a group for the average/common writer'. Like reader's digest. it doesn't necessarily mean it is a group belonging to many writers.
Reply:yes you do because its a group that belongs to writers so it is Writers' i sincerley doubt that there is just one writer to whom it belongs.
Reply:Actually, it's a group belonging to more than one writer, so you put the apostrope after the "s"...the writers' group. No authoritative reference, nothing to back this up...just grammatically correct to take a possessive plural and put the apostrophe after the plural.


Naming an Entity and operating under a DBA?

I need to name my entity, an LLC and I was wondering if people often choose obscure names and then operate under DBA's? Advantages?

Naming an Entity and operating under a DBA?
Why did you form an LLC? What kind of business is it? Is there a ton of liability? If not, you just waste your money by forming and paying for an LLC. It seems cool, but it's just a waste of money. Buy some bling instead.





A DBA is generally understood to refer to a sole proprietorship - not any sort of LLC. You sound a little confused. Why would you want to hide the name of the LLC? Would that be misleading to a customer and possibly contribute to you losing the liability protection if the customer was able to "pierce the corporate veil?"





I think it could.

What will you do if they start naming bridges and tunnels and airports after George W Bush?

The republicans have started a new strategy of getting stuff named after their dubious leaders while these guys are still alive and you still remember who they are. so it is not too soon to start thinking about the horrid possibility of being forced to use airports and highway rest stops named after dubya. What should we do to avoid this?

What will you do if they start naming bridges and tunnels and airports after George W Bush?

Reply:Give an example of naming something after a dubious Republican leader. Wait, I'll cut to the chase because I bet your going to say Ronald Reagan. RR was arguably the most popular president since JFK and enjoyed a landslide re-election. Maybe that meant that not only Republicans thought he was a great leader. The economy went from stagnant and cruddy with record inflation under Carter to one of the strongest ever under Reagan. Government revenue climbed to new heights even though RR enacted the largest tax cut in history, putting more money in everyones pockets. Government defecits under Reagan were largely due to a Democratic Congress not holding true to their promise of controlling spending. Reagan led the US to vistory over the USSR, who was the greatest threat to the US's way of life, in a Cold War that had lasted since the 50's(maybe even earlier, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now).





Oh, and the Dems dont do exactly what you are talking about? Speaking of Carter the Navy named a Nuclear Attack Sub after him. Face it, he was one of the worst Presidents in a long time, but still he is memorialized prior to his death.





New strategy. Read some history, don't rely on what others who think exactly like you talk about. James Buchanan, the 5th President, was a Democrat. I know for a fact their are many schools named after him. Franklin Pierce ranks 3rd on the list of worsts, a Democrat.

Reply:Do you have ANY sense of history? What republicans are you talking about? I'm aware of Reagan International, but do you have any clue what he brought to the world? I'm not aware of anything major named after Bush1, Ford, or Nixon. I'm also unaware of anything named after Clinton, Johnson, or Carter. I'm sure there are local streets and honors given in their home states and hometowns, but this is not what you are griping about. You would take Reagan International and use that one naming as a generralization this broad? The man defeated Communism and brought down the iron curtain! Are you old enough to remember the sledge hammers being taken against the Berlin wall where previously, those who tried to cross were shot on sight? Get a sense of history and of perspective. One airpost hardly qualifies your hysteria.

Reply:Usually things like this are voted in at city hall/council meetings. These are generally open to the public and citizens do have the right to speak out against something they don't want, so you can always lodge a protest there.





I don't think it's that big of a deal, though. History will remember him and what he has or hasn't done - that's much more of a legacy than having some rest stop named after you.


How long can you go without naming a newborn child?

They won't let you leave the hospital without a name.

How long can you go without naming a newborn child?
Actually, it really depends on the hospital the mother gives birth in.





My neighbor when 1 week without naming her child and they released the child without a name.





I'm sure that you will be able to pick one once you see the baby.It is easier to actually see the being you are naming in order to put a name to the face.
Reply:When I had my son we couldn't agree on a name. The day before we were scheduled to leave the hospital they told me I had to name him. We joked about him being John Doe for three days (I had a c-section) so we named him John! I was able to go three days because of the c-section, but with a natural birth, you leave the hospital the next day, so you would only have 24 hours.
Reply:I think it depends on the hospital, but where I delivered my baby, we had to have a name before leaving the hospital. They prepare the birth certificate for you and deal with social security, so they won't let you leave before you give them the info they need to finish with your paperwork.
Reply:depends on the state. in california you can i believe go a week, but i'm not sure. contact the hospital you'll be delivering at and ask them. or possibly the SSA

What is involved in having a naming ceremony for a baby?

i had one of these days for my baby and it was the most wonderful experience ever! it involves making a commitment to the baby and you may have mentors instead of god parents.





in my ceremony i had


a good friend reading a poem


lighting of a candle


statement of comitment from me and my partner


statement of commitment from mentors


the mentors read a poem and a speach


we cut a cake


the person who led the ceremony said a celtic poem


we listened to a song personal for baby(we chose james blunt-your beautiful)





it is a very personal ceremony and i will recomend this for anyone

What is involved in having a naming ceremony for a baby?
I have performed these, they are equivalent to a Christian Christening, but are more spiritual than religious, although often the Blessings of God %26amp; Goddess is called upon, or for the spiritual people the Blessings of the Archangels.


Also equivelant to the godparents are also named, those that promise to look after the spiritual wellbeing etc should anything happen to the parents.
Reply:I've never heard of a naming ceremony. Sounds like a waste of time and money.
Reply:Under what culture is this? I'm interested myself!
Reply:Depends. Will the ceremony by Native American? Usually those are pretty strict on things that you do.


How do I go about naming a street?

It depends. If it is a private driveway (even if it is shared), you can usually get it (re)named fairly easily. Different entities name streets for different places. It may be your city or county planning department. It may be the 911 department, etc. You should be able to call your court house or city hall and they can tell you who to contact.

How do I go about naming a street?
My old boss got to name streets for a track of homes build on the land he sold to the developer. They simply used the family names, but put them all in Spanish. Via Gilberto, Avenida Marisol, Via Maria Terese, Avenida Pablo. Or you can use your last name. Remember the street will have that name forever. Enjoy leaving your mark on the world.

We are having a naming ceremony for our son and would like a nice reading or poem as part of the day.?

We are not having a christening for our son as we want him to find his own path when he gets older. If that invloves God then great it's his own choice. In the mean time I want a really nice poem to read at his naming ceremony that doesnt involve religion, that just tells him about life really and how much he is loved. Any ideas would be appreciated. We will be doing it on his 1st birthday so he is not a newborn.

why don't you write your own poem? maybe tell him his birth story, or write about what you hope for him, or write him a love letter. I think that would be very meaningful to him later.

... I am going to take a stab in the dark on this one lol and say God?





[edit]


whatchoo doing up boy?
Reply:Earth was not already named. Earth is "terra" in Latin. You should do some historical research on the classical "elements" of the Greeks and Romans; Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Wiccans add Spirit to the "basic" elements.
Reply:"Earth is (beside Sedna) the only planet in the solar system, whose name is not derived from the Greek or Roman mythology, the origin of the now used form of naming comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Erda (Erdaz), which means ground, soil, and Earth, the word changed to Eorthe or Erthe in Old English and to Erde in German."
Reply:Not God. The Bible was writtten after the ancient Romans came up with names for the planet.





This is debatable. We have evidence that the Incas, the Ancient Greeks, Ancient Mesopotamians and Ancient Egyptians all understood we were a planet among others. So it could have been any of them.





The thing is a lot of people before them may have had an idea that we were on a planet and named it, they may not have left us a written record however.
Reply:Well, Earth once meant and still can mean "land", so, naturally, when people found out that we lived on a planet, they called it Earth.

The 10 Most Obscene Names In Sports History





#10 Dudu, Kaka, and Dunga


On their own, these two players and the coach of the Brazilian National soccer team seem like a 3rd grader's euphemisms for poop. But together, they somehow combine into one massive, sexy, scatological mega-joke.





# 9 Ron Tugnutt


Slapping the monkey, choking the chicken, jerkin' the gherkin, beating off, polishing the family jewels, shining the pork sword... and now: Tugging a nut.





# 8 Chubby Cox


Why not just name your child "Chodes?" Despite having not just a funny name, but an insulting one, Cox is seriously well connected. In addition to going to High School two blocks from my own house, his brother-on-law, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, played in the NBA, and so does Joe's son. Some guy named Kobe.





# 7 Dick Trickle


Erectile Dysfunction/Incontinence + NASCAR Rednecks = Comedy.





# 6 Dean Windass


Poop names are easy (Danny Shittu), but a good fart name, like a fine '88 Merlot, must be savored. Combine a humorous name with a violent soccer thug, and you've got a winning formula.





# 5 Otto Pfister


German soccer manager, or insane sexual contraption? You be the judge. (It's the soccer manager, though)





# 4 Randy Johnson


Normal enough to pass under the radar, Randy Johnson is the alternate moniker of several adult film stars, as is the bird-murdering pitcher's nickname: "The Big Unit."





# 3 Misty Hyman


I can't decide whether her name is an STD symptom, or a porno alias, but an Olympic gold medal sure seems like a good comeback to everyone who made her cut herself in Junior High.





# 2 Dick Butkus


With all do respect to the Windy City Legend, he'd be on here even if his name wasn't Dick. Butt-kiss does fine all on it's own. But the addition of "Dick" to an already hilarious name pushes "The most feared man in the game" into the top.





# 1 Rusty Kuntz


Is there really any debate?
Reply:I am not completely sure about the United States, but I know there are laws like this in other countries. I think it is France? that has a list of names that you are only allowed to choose from to name your baby.
Reply:Why would anyone want to do such a thing? Give your child a burden for the rest of there lives. I do not think that there are any laws against it but tell me what made you think of such a thing?
Reply:"There is no law against naming your child anything, however if you want your child to be socially accepted and not ridiculed you had better think about an acceptable title for him or her.

Without naming a candidate/party, name 4 things the next president could do that would improve this country?
The President needs cooperation from the legislature to do anything lasting but here we go:





1. Require national service of some kind after one's 18th birthday as a pre-requisite for citizenship.





2. Get rid of the "race" box on job applications, college applications, census data and everywhere else.





3. Legalize and regulate crimes that don't hurt anybody except when the government prohibits them like marijuana use and prostitution.





4. Institute a national right-to-carry law like Vermont's.

2- find out the real cost for health services such as surgery, medication, test and lab work in order to control the over charge every single patient is faced with, this in its turn will make Insurance Co have to pay less and will allow for lower health care insurance costs.


3- control illegal immigration with a program that makes sense, no amnesty only allow a green card for those who have held a job for the last 3 years minimum send anyone else packing.


4- raise taxes on the rich making 250,000 a year, give a tax cut to the shrinking middle class in order to keep it alive, favor free tax for 3 years and federal fund for one year for new businesses to stimulate the economy and bring jobs back in America.

Why is the latin naming system used in the animal kingdom?

because if we use different languages will cause common name problems.


example: Gatto, chat, and katze all refer to Felis domistica , the house cat, in Spanish, French and German respectively, early on scientists recognized different languages as a communication barrier. this problem was over come by learning to read and write latin. it followed that latin would be the logical language fornaming organisms.


it's important to know that the language generally used in classification is latin but ancient greek terms are also used. latin is a classical language but, more importantly it is a DEAD LANGUAGE!!


by the way, good question!

Why is the latin naming system used in the animal kingdom?
it starts with an L. i want to say Linnaeus but i can't remember if that's it or not. it's that way because a guy named Linnaeus is the person that classified the animals into groups.
Reply:cause spanish wasn't invented yet.
Reply:I assume it's because at the time it was invented, Latin was the international language of the educated layers. (BTW, it's not only the animal kingdom, but more or less the whole living world!)


Keeping this system (not Latin language, but the binomial structure) has some great advantages.


First of all, it is universal, and each name is unique to one organism. Imagine a European and an American ornithologist trying to communicate about robins - this name means different birds in the two continent. How infinitely easier it is to understand each other when you mention Erithacus rubecula instead of robin - the American guy will instantly know you are meaning the European robin. Other organisms might have many names even in one single language, and to make things even more complicated, some of those names could refer to two or more creatures. With scientific names, in most of the cases you don't have such problems. When you have, it is by unfortunate accident, and these mistakes tend to be corrected - eg. the South African/North American dinosaur Syntarsus was renamed Megapnosaurus after it turned out that Syntarsus was preoccupied by a beetle.


Second, a scientific name gives some clues to the phylogenetic relationships of a creature. Cephalorhynchus commersoni and Cephalorhynchus hectori (two dolphins) are closely related, as indicated by a common genus name (this sometimes turns out not to be the case, but it's the taxonomy experts' job to put species in the right genera then), and more closely related to each other than any of them to, say, Tursiops truncatus, the bottlenose dolphin.


And it is often the case that the scientific name - be it Latin or Greek or Chinese in origin - hints at important characteristics of the animal. Lacerta viridis, a European lizard is - well, green, and its name means exactly "green lizard" (lacerta is lizard, viridis is green in Latin). However, this is not a general rule - the name Latouchella aliciae won't tell you that this is a snail, or anything important about that creature.
Reply:Just a way to standardize everything, I think Latin was spoken a lot back in the day and it just stuck as a naming convention.
Reply:Obviously because animals SPEAK latin.





Which is why, despite the warning, you are not aware your cat defecated in your dress shoes.





Seriously, it's because latin is the lingua franca in science.
Reply:Because latin is sweet.
Reply:Linnaeus used Latin because as a "dead" language it will not change.
Reply:Because it was common to scientists from all (European) countries. And since Europeans seemed to be a lot more interested in making complete categorization efforts than people in other parts of the world, it stuck.
Reply:Linneaus [sp?] started binommial nomenclature of all animals [he included humans too] by genus and species


scientists pretty much kept that system going w/ the latin names because they figured out and agreed that different organisms might get different names depending on the people that are naming them, and even then the given name of the animal/organism might change over time as culture and language change... so! since latin is a dead language and it won't be subjected to changes over time [eg. slang, new terminology], it's then a pretty good language to use when you wanna keep consistency in the naming system. that way, scientists anywhere in the world and at any time will know what you're referring to when you say E. coli or H. sapiens





it's all for consistency's sake
Reply:Carl Linnaeus was the first one to introduce a classification for plants and animals. It is in Latin because 300 years ago Latin was the commonly spoken language among educated and sophisticated people.


Each living organism has a genus and species name (i.e. Homo sapiens) so that the naming of newly discovered animals shows their relation among each other.
Reply:because, it was then the universal language for biologists-irrespective of whether you are spanish, italian, indian, chinese, chilean, etc, latin could be a way out to uniformly name the living things-for more details contact one mr.carolus linnaeus, now extinct!

4. Have a plan to bring home the troops, within 1-2 years.

Without naming a candidate/party, name 4 things the next president could do that would improve this country?
The President needs cooperation from the legislature to do anything lasting but here we go:





1. Require national service of some kind after one's 18th birthday as a pre-requisite for citizenship.





2. Get rid of the "race" box on job applications, college applications, census data and everywhere else.





3. Legalize and regulate crimes that don't hurt anybody except when the government prohibits them like marijuana use and prostitution.





4. Institute a national right-to-carry law like Vermont's.

4- raise taxes on the rich making 250,000 a year, give a tax cut to the shrinking middle class in order to keep it alive, favor free tax for 3 years and federal fund for one year for new businesses to stimulate the economy and bring jobs back in America.

This was supposed to be temporary, because I wasn't sure I was going to keep them, but needed names to give at the vets office. Unfortunately, the names stuck. Squeak actually gets called Mr. Stinky Pants most of the time (I won't go into the reason.) and Bubble is Bubblicious because she's so fat and soft like a big wad of bubble gum.





Just call her kitty until she lets you know what she's really like and then it will come to you like a flash.

Can somebody explain to me how the whole Systematic (IUPAC) Naming system works?

I'm a curious 16 year old guy, interested about how it works.

Can somebody explain to me how the whole Systematic (IUPAC) Naming system works?
In IUPAC nomenclature, a number of prefixes, suffixes and infixes are used to describe the type and position of functional groups in the compound.





For many compounds, naming can begin by determining the name of the parent hydrocarbon and by identifying any functional groups in the molecule that distinguish it from the parent hydrocarbon. The name of the parent hydrocarbon is modified by the application of the highest-priority functional group suffix, with the remaining functional groups indicated by numbered prefixes, appearing in the name in alphabetical order from first to last.

Why does the Philippines not use the international standard when naming storms?

The entire world uses one standard when naming cyclones and typhoons. Why does the Philippines see it necessary to confuse us all %26amp; call the storms by some different name? I am constantly asked by friends. "what storm are you talking about...storm Int. or storm PI?"

Why does the Philippines not use the international standard when naming storms?
Gerald Bingo!!! That's the same question I've asked for years now. The only advantage is that they arrive alphabetically. To me it is so confusing hearing about a typhoon on CNN and then hearing something else per PAGASA - maybe it has something to do with the crab mentality where PAGASA has to have it's own name. (Makes me sick).



Reply:it isn't because we don't use the international standard. PAGASA uses a different name to signify that a storm has entered Philippine territory.. also, traditionally, names for typhoons were names of women because women tend to be fickle just like the storm. Report Abuse

Reply:well, that is the case in the Philippines. but nowadays, names of the male gender have been added to the list in rotation since there are now a lot of storms, tropical depressions and ITCZ's that pass through the country. Report Abuse

I also always wondered why everyone would get nervous about a typhoon when there was a low pressure system somewhere in the Pacific.





What a wonderful strange place.
Reply:Well, it dates back to the times when we had an average number of 20 typhoons in one year.

The first typhoon of the year had to start or still has to start in A and the next would be in B and so on.. Obviously, we can know how many typhoons we have had for the year...

A thousand people a day on here ask, "What would be a good name for my baby?" And then they offer five HORRIBLE names, from which you pick the least offensive.





I'm thinking of printing up some business cards and handing them out in the waiting rooms of maternity wards. Charge maybe $500 a baby. Is this a viable business idea? Hmmmm?

honestly... no! but some people are stupid and might pay you!
Reply:Nope! I was once asked by a pregnant single mom friend to suggest a name for her unborn child, based on our culture and heritage.





She chose the name I suggested I consider that to be an honour to this day. Accepting payment would have been unthinkable!





Anyone who would pay maybe shouldnt have a baby they are not fashion accessories.





However a baby making service! Try asking about that:-)





That would be a whole different story:-)
Reply:500 dollars?


Are you kidding?


5 bucks a kid for suggestions would be better.


If you had really good research and a knack for naming kids, you might be in business.


It's a good idea, but your price would bankrupt you.


And don't go INTO the maternity wards. Put up signs and ads on baby websites and message boards.


At 5 bucks a pop, you might make some money.

Reply:i think the price might scare them off, perhape if you had a web site and created quizes and other games or services to help people come up with names and you charges a small fee to join, like 5 dollars, and then charged a few dollars for differnt aspects, that could add up for you but never felt like a major comminmemt from then people would do it. --especially if it was fun.
Reply:Hahah, no that's a terrible idea.


A, people could just buy a book for like $15. And B, the names you think are good are just your own personal opinion. You don't seem capable of taking into account other people's preferences.

When we named our kids, we when fishing names for ages until the right name came along.
Reply:Yes. I promised my brother he could name my twins.He called the girl Denise. (I was surprised because he is a big joker.) He couldn't help himself though. He called my son Denephew.



Reply:Yeah and it already exists.
Reply:$500? haha. :) made me giggle. That would be a cool idea, though.


Can you please help me with a few sentences on explaining the challenges to community policing without naming?

each and every challenge?

When are you supposed to use roman numerals when naming chemicals?

Roman numerals are usually used to indicate the oxidation state of metals, they are not really required though so I would just stay away from using Roman numerals in naming chemicals.





Just to add a comment to another explanation. the compounds FeCl3 and FeCl2 do not have to be both called Iron Chloride. The first one can be called ferric chloride and the second one ferrous chloride. You could also say Iron trichloride and iron dichloride. Just to emphasize the fact that this part of naming chemicals is not a requirement and I think that Roman numerals should not be used.

When are you supposed to use roman numerals when naming chemicals?
To Christophe G, you only use the prefixes (di,tir,tetra, etc.) if the compound is covalent, and seeing that iron is a metal and chloride is a non-metal, they are ionic. If the cation is an transition element, you HAVE to use roman numeral to explain the charge. Report Abuse

Reply:Roman numerals are used to describe the amount of charge on a transition metal in a compound. For group 1 and 2 metals, no roman numeral is needed because they will always have a +1 or +2 charge respectively. Transition metals, though, have more than one possible charge that they can carry (oxidation states). So when naming a compound, you need a way to state the charge.





For ex.





FeCl2 and FeCl3





Without any roman numerals, both would be named iron chloride. But clearly they are different compounds so their names need to be different.





The first is iron(II) chloride


the second is iron(III) chloride.





That's pretty much all it is.

Trace the path of an oxygen molecule from the air to a muscle cell in your arm, naming all the structures involved along the way

Trace the path of an oxygen molecule from the air to a muscle cell in your arm, naming all the structures invo?
OXYGEN: FROM NARES TO MYOCYTE.





Here's the full, detailed story. Just eliminate whatever detail you consider excess:





From the external nares (nostrils), air, which is usually 21% oxygen mixed with 79% nitrogen, enters into the nasal cavity within the nose and passes over the nasal turbinates (shown but not labeled in the first link below) where it is warmed and humidified, and where nasal hairs remove larger particles of particulate matter from it.





The air then enters the upper part of the posterior oral cavity called the nasopharynx and flows down into the lower throat, or laryngopharynx. http://fau.pearlashes.com/anatomy/Chapte...





From here it passes through the epiglottis into the larynx and through the vocal cords contained therein before entering the cartilagenous trachea, where a further set of hairs covered in a thin sheet of mucus removes smaller particulate matter missed in the upper respiratory tract.





From the trachea, the air passes into one of the two mainstem bronchi and then proceeds further down the respiratory tree which continues to branch into ever smaller generations of bronchioles. Finally, the air enters the terminal bronchioles, which deliver the inspired air into the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lung tissue. http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_a...





The oxygen in the alveolar air then passes through the alveolar epithelial cells, through a basement membrane, and finally through the endothelial cells lining the pulmonary capillaries and enters the bloodstream. The oxygen molecule diffuses through the plasma and into an erythrocyte (red blood cell) where it finds hemoglobin with which to bind.





The freshly oxygenated blood in the pulmonary capillaries empties into the pulmonary veins, left atrium and left ventricle in that order, and then out of the heart into the arterial system beginning with the aorta. (numbers 3-6 at http://fajerpc.magnet.fsu.edu/Education/... )





It then proceeds through several branchings into a large artery, smaller arteries and several arterioles before reaching the capillary bed of some muscle (or other tissue). Here, the oxygen molecules dissociate from the hemoglobin and diffuse out of the erythrocyte into the plasma, then out of the plasma and capillary into the interstitial fluid surrounding the myocytes (muscle cells) into which they diffuse to support aerobic cellular respiration. http://www.evgn.org/images/vessels.gif

Ms excel problem: i have file having the naming of all of the retailers working under the company, now the pro?

ms excel problem: i have file having the naming of all of the retailers working under the company, now the problem is that, i have made copies of this sheet to other files also. whenever i update this file of the retailers, i have to update all of the copies of this sheet in other files. i want such a method that whenever i update my this file, the relative sheets in the other files are also automatically updated. Please help me.

Ms excel problem: i have file having the naming of all of the retailers working under the company, now the pro?
If you copy the sheet, it will make a one time copy of the content. There will not be any link between the copy and its original. You should maintain on file as masterlist keeping the updated retailers information. On other file that require such info, instead of copy the sheet, use formula as simple as "=" to tell excel that the file is equal to content from another file. Excel will pull the info from the masterlist file. If you update the masterlist file, all files that link to that file will be updated automatically or can be done manually by pressing F9 (Calculate)
Reply:For such kind of problem, I suggests you use Ms Access instead.


It's a database management system (while Excel is a tool performing tasks on spreadsheets), it helps you manage your data in a relational model.
