Not sure if this can be done, but I would like to be able to compare 2 pieces
of text (memo fields?/text boxes) and output a percentage of how similar they
are..

I.e

Field 1
"Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori"

Field 2
"Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori"

Field 3
Calculated percent i.e 100% similar.

Any help greatly appreciated
 
Hmmm....

The reason that I want this, Is that I want to be able to give a team clerk
a few dummy bits of database information to input into a database...

I want to be able to compare what I have given them with what they have
written.

There will be various types of entry... Dates, Names, and a description
field (300 chrs).

I realise that this is not straight forward, and am probably not going to be
able to do it, but any help is greatly appreciated...

Many thanks,


Mark.
