               This  Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Data Dimensions,  Inc. (the
"Issuer").  This Amendment No. 1 supplementally  amends the initial statement on
Schedule  13D  dated  August 8, 1997  (the  "Initial  Statement"),  filed by the
Reporting Persons (as defined in the Initial Statement). This Amendment No. 1 is
being filed by the Reporting  Persons to report that the Reporting  Persons have
disposed of Shares (and securities derivative thereof) held for their respective
accounts,  and,  as such,  the  Reporting  Persons  no longer  may be deemed the
beneficial  owners  of five  percent  or more of the  outstanding  Shares of the
Issuer.  Capitalized  terms used  herein but not defined  herein  shall have the
meanings  ascribed to them in the Initial  Statement.  The Initial  Statement is
supplementally amended as follows.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               White  Rock  expended  approximately  $1,630,113  of the  working
capital of the White Rock  Clients to  purchase  the Shares  reported  herein as
being  acquired since August 8, 1997, the date of a prior filing on Schedule 13D
by the Reporting Persons.  Thomas U. Barton expended approximately $9,640 of his
personal funds to purchase the options  reported  herein as having been acquired
since August 8, 1997.  Joseph U. Barton expended  approximately  $118,726 of his
personal  funds to  purchase  the Shares and  options  reported  herein as being
acquired since August 8, 1997.


Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               (a)  Each of the Reporting  Persons may be deemed the  beneficial
owner of the  293,900  Shares held for the  accounts  of the White Rock  Clients
(approximately 2.46% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

               (b)  The Reporting Persons are currently vested with shared power
to direct the voting and disposition of the 293,900 Shares held for the accounts
of the White Rock Clients.

               (c)  Except as disclosed on Annex A attached  hereto,  there have
been no  transactions  effected with respect to the Shares since August 8, 1997,
the date of a prior filing on Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons.  All of the
transactions listed on Annex A, unless otherwise noted, were executed in routine
brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter market.

               (d)  The  partners  of each White Rock  Client  have the right to
participate  in the receipt of  dividends  from,  or proceeds  from the sale of,
Shares  held by the  respective  White  Rock  Client in  accordance  with  their
partnership interests in the respective White Rock Client.

               (e)  Each of the  Reporting  Persons  ceased  to be a  beneficial
owner of five percent or more of the outstanding Shares on August 25, 1997.
