this is going to be a major issue... since the database needs exact matches, there has to be some way of checking the input to make sure it matches existing data. all day today went to create some sort of searching algorithm to check the database versus entered data in a field. I've gone so far as to compare phonetics of entered versus matching data to find it... it isn't fool proof, but it's working reasonably well, and can fix most of the simple typos and spelling errors. now just to implement it, haha...
