RE: Converting names & street names

["Turnidge, Dave" <DTurnidge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Understood. However, using "software" to fix this will STILL not work
any better, because there will be names that will still get by that may
be JUST as high profile. It might only be, um, one, but it could be
"that" one... 

If you have the resources, I like the idea of following up with the
customer to confirm that the way you have their name is to their liking.
Otherwise, have a maintenance listing of all added names go to someone
who is responsible for getting it right...

No - don't get me wrong. I agree, the telephone operators entering data
should ALWAYS enter the data as best they can. The point I am trying to
make was that with the "human factor" and the amount of data input, zero
mistakes (although a nice goal to aim for) is NOT always attainable, and
when something does go wrong, Murphy's Law stipulates that its going to
be a high profile customer.
