Hi Anil, I would have created it on WE, if I had known that we had a poll application on WE. I don't have the luxury of working with Wayne directly anymore, so am not a the root of new developments all the time.
I have taken the poll I had created off of FB not to confuse people We will upload the new WE poll once ready. I tried to to do this tonight. I am so sorry, I can't, I am exhausted and my mind doesn't think straight and doesn't want to kick into gear, to do more. I am on overloaded at work and I am struggling with a serious health issue. I wanted to help when Wayne wrote. Will look at it tomorrow again. Cheers Patricia On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 6:50 PM, Anil Prasad <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Patricia, > > > > Excellent work!
