After another too warm (15°C) night we got the reverse of yesterday. morning sunny and nice but rain from noon onwards.

In TeleSales we have a new problem (yet another one). We use MS Word to print some documents like order confirmations. The data gets passed by WordLink, a tool from Progress, which adds a button bar to word from where you can select the fields to be printed. The formatting can be determined on each field. Except, it seems, when you are working with a 'repeating group'. We use this repeating group feature to print the order lines and of course the Germans want some fields displayed differently.

They also want to add some fields that we didn't include in the queries. They try to add them but of course they cannot do that, you need the developer edition. Jan, who is 'helping' them knows that full well. But conveniently 'forgets' it, making it sound as if we did put in that limitation. So we are the bad guys.
(Ok if the tools allowed it we would probably disable the function but that is not the point).

And I slaved a little on the validation program. By making the files internal I got myself into code swamp here. I am sinking in deeper every day.

The e-mail forwarding from Mailbank did not change even though I requested it and the status page displayed the change. All the weekend mail collected in the inbox at work. Not that it was a lot (12 mails and no spam) but it does mean I did answer uncharacteristically late or not at all.
The newspaper (which I get e-mailed) got lost so I don't know what happened in the world. Looking out I see the rain so earth is still rotating and the sun hasn't gone super nova yet.
Anything else?


Adios
