Typically when a specimen is first databased I will only record the most recent determination. From then on I record all subsequent determinations. I am also working on two research specimen databases in Access one for the family Gesneriaceae and another where John Clark records his collections and prints labels. These databases are not set up to record multiple determinations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Steve Ginzbarg<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> HERBARIA [mailto:herbaria-bounces@nacse.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Macklin, James<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 14, 2013 10:24 AM<br><b>To:</b> herbaria@nacse.org; nhcoll-l@mailman.yale.edu<br><b>Cc:</b> Bob Morris (morris.bob@gmail.com)<br><b>Subject:</b> [HERBARIA] Storing multiple determinations in databases<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>I am interested to know how many collection management databases DO NOT have the ability to store multiple determinations/identifications for a given specimen.
