I am just waiting for a computer to reboot… No, not here. At a clients place. We are having issues with getting some reports to run correctly. It is not the reporting system problem, it is an issue with massaging the data before it gets to the reporting engine. The thing is that it seems to work correctly on my PC, but not on my clients PC. And I was hoping that a reboot would fix the issue. It does not seem to be fixed by sending a new DLL. Nor a new copy of the EXE.

And I have just solved it… The computer was working out if an object was within a certain distance of a point… and the user had made the distance rather small… Too small to account for all the errors, and the fact that normally he would need to park his vehicle 50m from a client site. So nothing was showing up in reports. When I increased the size by 10 times the reports started looking good. I was wondering why things were not working.. I thought I was going crazy. At least this is not a sign for that.

Just before I finally got the code working I finished off the PCB for the client and emailed it across. I do not expect to hear overnight – it will not be looked at until tomorrow… Still, he wanted this ASAP, so he gets it ASAP 🙂
