Reminds me of an old Excel spreadsheet I created that would automatigically create a radio log that the operators followed the following day, which would randomly choose music based on a series of parameters, along with commercials, public service messages etc.
I showed them how to save the template with the macros as a new file, then launch the macro that did it all from the Macro window. Everyone get it? We ok? Great. I get a call a couple days later saying the spreadsheet was broken. Someone had opened the original macro sheet and tried to manually enter the log by replacing everything there with entries they typed in themselves. Then when it was all hosed, they saved it. GAWD! When I tried to tell them not to do that, the gal who did it got teary eyed and everyone was looking at me like I was a ogre. I gave up. Bob On Jul 10, 2012, at 10:30 AM, J.
