% of type errors...

[NoteMe]

I saw once a thesis or report or something about how much typos you would expect in a database when everything is handwritten. Have anyone ever seen any report like this? Anyone have any interesting links on the subject?

Not really, but it's why I allow my users to type as little as possible. Everything I can put in a combobox or checkboxes or some other form of "you can only do this" is one less typo I have to worry about trapping.

"I typed in '5th Ave.' and it didn't find anything" - the address in the database is "Fifth Avenue" and the user can't see that they're different.

Anyone have a spare 'any' key?
