    unit 2 data files for importing

    I am sure that last year text files were provided for importing into a database for strand d.  I can't find them anywhere on the website this year.  I'm hoping to work on these this afternoon but I'm on hold to edexcel help line as I write this and I've been on hold for 12 minutes now so thought this might be a quicker way to get a response.  I'd be grateful if anyone can help.

    Thanks very much for that, Andy.  When I did finally get off being on telephone hold to edexcel I was told that they had never provided data-sets, so it's good to see I wasn't going mad.  However, I notice that they haven't updated them since 2006 - I presume they're still OK for the pupils to use though.  What data sets are other people using?

     I shall be using the cd's database files. They're not too difficult for the students to understand and have a go at normalisation.
