One of my clients reported a strange problem this morning with my TeamTrack software. He mentioned a second login screen… And seeing I was confused sent me a copy. This confused me more than him to tell the truth! You see, this is NOT one of my dialog boxes.

Doing some searching I found that this is probably related to a DLL issue with different versions of Crystal Reports. Normally people get this error, from what I can work out, running Crystal Reports with Access, where credentials fail for some reason. I do not understand that issue at all. In my case it must be a DLL issue since I am just sending a dataset to the reporting engine rather than telling it to log into a database. Since this is the same client who has bought himself a copy of the crystal reports software so he can write his own reports I think DLL issues are most likely the cause.

It was interesting to note about the postal shooting near Santa Barbara overnight. The shooting was actually at Goleta which is where the Airport is… Just north of the down town. I think the best way to describe Goleta would be to compare it like Palm Beach or somewhere like that… Including the gum trees. I got to stay in Goleta in 2002 when I was over there and it really is a nice place to visit, probably the last place I would expect something like that happening.

Finally, Bill Gates was saying in an interview that he has Too much money to tax. Well, not that he should not pay tax, but more that he needs to be put onto a seperate computer system to work out how much tax he should pay. After all, with his net worth a rounding error can wipe off hundreds of millions off his tax bill.
