Bubba      2/9/03   10:26 AM hey

Bubba      2/9/03   10:26 AM I didn't get the shirt in the mail to you
                                  yesterday

woozle     2/9/03   10:26 AM ok

Bubba      2/9/03   10:27 AM I was hit w/rounding up furniture for a family
                                  that got burned out 

woozle     2/9/03   10:27 AM send it 2morrow when you ship dem bears

Bubba      2/9/03   10:27 AM I've got a prob w/the db

woozle     2/9/03   10:27 AM which is?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:27 AM dwnldd the latest and it won't let me print
                                  the slips in shipment

woozle     2/9/03   10:28 AM (maybe you & the db should take this
                                  outside...)

woozle     2/9/03   10:28 AM oh, right...

woozle     2/9/03   10:28 AM hmm

woozle     2/9/03   10:28 AM crash?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:28 AM debug or end options dialog box

woozle     2/9/03   10:28 AM what's the error msg when the debug/end dialog
                                  pops up?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:28 AM hold on I gotta rerun it

woozle     2/9/03   10:29 AM (you probly just need the latest .app)

Bubba      2/9/03   10:30 AM the microsoft jet database engine cannot find
                                  the table or query yadda yadda yadda

woozle     2/9/03   10:30 AM ok

woozle     2/9/03   10:30 AM which table or query does it say it can't
                                  find?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:31 AM I don't remember unzipping the latest app
                                  w/the last orders.zip

woozle     2/9/03   10:31 AM I'll send you one

Bubba      2/9/03   10:31 AM table - package print query

woozle     2/9/03   10:31 AM Ok, that makes sense -- I changed some names
                                  to keep things straight in my head...

Bubba      2/9/03   10:32 AM think you did I, I downloaded it and I've yet
                                  to unzip it 

Bubba      2/9/03   10:32 AM I think

Bubba      2/9/03   10:32 AM chking date on latest app in folder

woozle     2/9/03   10:32 AM And then you'll have to relink it, and then it
                                  might or might not work...

Bubba      2/9/03   10:33 AM wanna just resend?

                                  was in stock anyway

Bubba      2/9/03   10:43 AM Scotty, WE NEED MORE POWER!

Bubba      2/9/03   10:45 AM Let me be perfectly muddled about this, I am
                                  NOT A COOK

Bubba      2/9/03   10:46 AM said the monkey to the chimp

woozle     2/9/03   10:47 AM Department of Non-Sequiturs, may I see your
                                  driver's license?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:47 AM Wait till the sun shines Nelly, as the clouds
                                  are drifting by

Bubba      2/9/03   10:48 AM A barking dog gathers no moss 

woozle     2/9/03   10:48 AM A rolling stone is better than two in the bush

Bubba      2/9/03   10:48 AM two in the bush woud be a good thing

Bubba      2/9/03   10:50 AM unless it's Mick

Bubba      2/9/03   10:51 AM can you have any virtues if you're a heathen?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:53 AM and isn't heathen barbarian redundant?

Bubba      2/9/03   10:54 AM just doing my part to leave no turn unstoned

Bubba      2/9/03   10:55 AM It's amazing how much alike getting up too
                                  early w/not enough sleep and getting stoned
                                  really is.

Bubba      2/9/03   10:55 AM %?

woozle     2/9/03   11:12 AM (was doing dishes) upload is complete; go
                                  ahead & download & I'll type up instruxtions.

Bubba      2/9/03   11:13 AM k

woozle     2/9/03   11:13 AM (only I've gotta get some lunch in me foist.)

Bubba      2/9/03   11:13 AM go ahead cuz it'll take a bit to dwnld

Bubba      2/9/03   11:41 AM is dun

Bubba      2/9/03   11:42 AM unzip ping

woozle     2/9/03   11:42 AM still working on the lunch thing

                                  to where you put orders.data.mdb?

Bubba      2/9/03   12:22 PM C:\My Documents\appdata\store

woozle     2/9/03   12:22 PM k

woozle     2/9/03   12:22 PM hmm

woozle     2/9/03   12:23 PM I could re-link a copy using that same path...
                                  I was thinking I had to have a PC called
                                  "Bubba", but if I use a local path that
                                  wouldn't be necessary...

Bubba      2/9/03   12:23 PM riiiiiiiight

woozle     2/9/03   12:38 PM ok, uploading modified .app -- this one should
                                  work with no mods on your system.

Bubba      2/9/03   12:38 PM ok

woozle     2/9/03   1:06 PM  upload complete.

Bubba      2/9/03   1:09 PM  k

Bubba      2/9/03   1:09 PM  starting download

woozle     2/9/03   1:30 PM  k7 looks good

Bubba      2/9/03   1:31 PM  k7?

woozle     2/9/03   1:31 PM  fax-to-email service

woozle     2/9/03   1:31 PM  our new fax # is 206-338-5660

Bubba      2/9/03   1:31 PM  ok

Bubba      2/9/03   1:32 PM  206?

woozle     2/9/03   1:32 PM  I've set it so we each get a copy; feel free
                                  to try test page

woozle     2/9/03   1:32 PM  k7 is located in Seattle, area code 206

woozle     2/9/03   1:32 PM  You can get toll-free #s too

Bubba      2/9/03   1:32 PM  ah

woozle     2/9/03   1:32 PM  But that costs; the basic service appears to
                                  be totally free

woozle     2/9/03   1:32 PM  They also take voice messages

Bubba      2/9/03   1:33 PM  kewl

woozle     2/9/03   1:33 PM  With a much longer limit than ICM -- ICM is 1
                                  minute, k7 is 5 minutes.

Bubba      2/9/03   1:33 PM  download complete

Bubba      2/9/03   1:33 PM  5 min mixed bag

woozle     2/9/03   1:33 PM  I'll probably switch 0474 to be forwarded to
                                  the k7 fax # instead of ICM, and drop ICM

Bubba      2/9/03   1:34 PM  k

woozle     2/9/03   1:34 PM  But I want to try it out for a week or few

Bubba      2/9/03   1:34 PM  rt o

Bubba      2/9/03   1:34 PM  unzipping new app

woozle     2/9/03   1:35 PM  kmp

Bubba      2/9/03   1:35 PM  k

Bubba      2/9/03   1:36 PM  ehhhhhhh but thank you for playing

Bubba      2/9/03   1:37 PM  cannot find package print que

Bubba      2/9/03   1:37 PM  queue

woozle     2/9/03   1:37 PM  hmm

woozle     2/9/03   1:38 PM  it shouldn't be looking for anything with that
                                  name. It should be "Select Packages".

Bubba      2/9/03   1:41 PM  you thinking?

woozle     2/9/03   1:42 PM  You get the message "cannot find package print
                                  queue" when you load the report?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:42 PM  y

woozle     2/9/03   1:43 PM  is that really exactly what it says? That's
                                  not an error message I recognize.

woozle     2/9/03   1:43 PM  Is there any punctuation?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:43 PM  unchecked, print packages, packing lists to go
                                  inside pkg

Bubba      2/9/03   1:44 PM  and I get a dialog box that says

Bubba      2/9/03   1:45 PM  The Microsoft Jet Database engine cannot find
                                  the input table or query 'Print Packages
                                  Queue'.  Make sure it exists and that its name
                                  is spelled correctly.

woozle     2/9/03   1:45 PM  Ah.

woozle     2/9/03   1:45 PM  Are you sure you're running the new .app?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:46 PM  just unzipped it and did a yes to all when it
                                  asked if I wanted it to overwrite

woozle     2/9/03   1:46 PM  what's the version number on the Main Menu?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:46 PM  hld on

Bubba      2/9/03   1:47 PM  v1.6 - 2002-12-17

woozle     2/9/03   1:47 PM  Ah. You should have 1.7, cuz that's what I
                                  uploaded.

woozle     2/9/03   1:47 PM  Where are you unzipping it to?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:47 PM  usual

woozle     2/9/03   1:47 PM  How are you running it? A shortcut on the
                                  desktop?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:48 PM  shortcut to store app data folder and then dbl
                                  clk on orders.app.zip

Bubba      2/9/03   1:48 PM  extract to where it goes

woozle     2/9/03   1:48 PM  How are you running orders.app.mdb after you
                                  unzip it?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:49 PM  desktop shortcut

Bubba      2/9/03   1:49 PM  just like always

woozle     2/9/03   1:49 PM  what's the path used by the shortcut?
                                  (right-click / properties)

Bubba      2/9/03   1:49 PM  C:\etc\aps\Shared\Store\orders.app.mdb

woozle     2/9/03   1:50 PM  An is this where you saved the orders.app.mdb
                                  file you unzipped?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:51 PM  C:\My Documents\appdata\store

woozle     2/9/03   1:51 PM  ehhhhhhh but thank you for playing

woozle     2/9/03   1:51 PM  it needs to go in
                                  c:\etc\aps\shared\store\orders.app.mdb

Bubba      2/9/03   1:51 PM  or change the path of the shortcut?

woozle     2/9/03   1:51 PM  It doesn't belong in appdata

woozle     2/9/03   1:52 PM  that's only for .data.mdb files

woozle     2/9/03   1:52 PM  You can just move it with Exploder

woozle     2/9/03   1:52 PM  Drag it from one folder to the other

Bubba      2/9/03   1:52 PM  which to which

Bubba      2/9/03   1:52 PM  C:\My Documents\appdata\store should have what
                                  in it?

Bubba      2/9/03   1:53 PM  just the .zips?

woozle     2/9/03   1:53 PM  Move c:\my
                                  documents\appdata\store\orders.app.mdb to
                                  c:\etc\aps\shared\store\orders.app.mdb
                                  (overwrite the old one)

woozle     2/9/03   1:53 PM  There shouldn't be any .app.mdb files in
                                  appdata\store

Bubba      2/9/03   1:55 PM  done

woozle     2/9/03   1:55 PM  Now it should work.

woozle     2/9/03   1:55 PM  Make sure the menu says v1.7

Bubba      2/9/03   1:55 PM  shipments is now the top right button?

woozle     2/9/03   1:55 PM  y

Bubba      2/9/03   1:56 PM  as Anakin Skywalker so eloquently said, IT'S
                                  WORKING, IT'S WORKING!

woozle     2/9/03   1:57 PM  woo, hoo.

Bubba      2/9/03   1:57 PM  but I only have one elephant shirt

Bubba      2/9/03   1:57 PM  thought there would be 2 bears

woozle     2/9/03   1:58 PM  2 bears in 1 order.

Bubba      2/9/03   1:58 PM  rt

Bubba      2/9/03   1:58 PM  that I've got here that I thought I was gonna
                                  ship

woozle     2/9/03   1:58 PM  D5927

Bubba      2/9/03   1:59 PM  no packing slip

Bubba      2/9/03   1:59 PM  release it so I can ship it tomorrow
