Well, I’m not actually a computer genius, but I sure feel like one right now! I’ve had an issue with a tool at work in the last two weeks that basically takes a form and rolls it over into the next year in the database I use. It’s a great tool because that means I don’t have to recreate data….LOVE the tool. I broke the tool because I made too many changes in the database. Even that is an incorrect statement because it was the ini file that was having trouble, not the tool itself. Of course, what does any girl do when she’s having an error message? Research the ini file! Naturally, I made the proper changes and then….nothing. Nada. Still had an error.” WHY oh WHY are you looking for the wrong fields!?!?” I cried! This was less effective. I talked with John, who very kindly helps me out when I’ve gone too far into the land of computing and can’t rescue myself from the database changes I make. He fixes the issue in the same way I’ve done and everything works fine for him. I do THE SAME thing he did….but I still have an error. Yesterday, I had a stroke of brilliance and decided to email myself both files to see if I can do it at home. Turns out the issue is not that I was incorrectly editing the ini file, but the tool is calling an ini file that is saved in a random Windows System folder that I couldn’t find again, even if it was my heart’s desire. Tonight I moved the ini file and ran the rollover tool and it was smooth sailing. Tomorrow I will have the joy of conducting an ini file hunt on my workstation. Ah, it’s like an early Easter egg hunt! Praise the Lord!

 I realize I’m opening myself up here for loads of mockery, but bring the heat! I’m unstoppable right now!
