I have to agree with Gary here. I've been the network admin for my firm for
18 months or so, and was recently offered the oppertunity to switch to lead
programmer (same pay, less hassles [or so I thought...]). Needless to say,
I'm now the head code monkey, but for some reason, the users still come to
me to get things fixed...
After a bit of thought, I added this loop to my daily subroutine -
If (IsNull(user.thought) AND (Err.Msg = ID10T)) = True Then
Do
With user
Quickly.Apply.Lart(user, forehead, repeatedly, nonstop)
End With
Loop until User.Leaves(office)
End If
Seems to help...
