Word is like a disease, when you have it you can't get rid of it. Many of my users - secretaries in particular but they are by no means the only culprits, try to open anything I send them in Word. I sent someone a pdf and the response I got was quote:
I am not thick and am quite aware of how to save a Pdf item into word but the sign off doc you sent me semms to be in a different format and I have tried everything to save it and then re send it but can't.
Well at least it made me laughBring back typewriters I say!steve-----------Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true! |

you in a new job?
Not yet!This one just made me laughBut that was before my old friends emailed one of my users to tell her that they had changed her network password and what they had changed it too. The icing on the cake was that they did this on a day that they knew she doesn't work. They were really off with her when she rang them to say she could no longer login!I think I'm just hysterical these daysOf course when/if I get a new job it may not involve SQL Server so I may be around less often and would probably only use Yak Corral (not much different to normal really) which brings me onto my next topicI've thought of a candidate for my special name - how about "Yak milker"  stevesteve-----------Facts are meaningless.
