- what: ICQ dialogue between Bubba and Woozle
Bubba 12/23/02 8:55 AM mornin
woozle 12/23/02 8:55 AM mawnnn
woozle 12/23/02 8:55 AM Packing up the LB stuff
Bubba 12/23/02 8:56 AM my app is still not there
Bubba 12/23/02 8:56 AM downloaded it 3 times to make sure
woozle 12/23/02 8:56 AM If you've been sending me email, I haven't
been seeing it. Have you been, and if so have
you checked to remove the "."?
woozle 12/23/02 8:57 AM re download -- you tried the newer WinZip?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:57 AM downloaded it and don't remember if I
installed it
Bubba 12/23/02 8:57 AM chkng
Bubba 12/23/02 9:00 AM reg # 45652584?
Bubba 12/23/02 9:01 AM actually 45952584
woozle 12/23/02 9:01 AM if that doesn't work, I will look it up
Bubba 12/23/02 9:02 AM k
Bubba 12/23/02 9:02 AM chkng history and yes that is it
Bubba 12/23/02 9:06 AM w/8.1 Extracting to "C:\etc\aps\Shared\Store\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Extracting orders.app.mdb
Error: invalid compressed data to inflate
woozle 12/23/02 9:06 AM ok... will try again.
Bubba 12/23/02 9:06 AM would prn's for these few be easier
woozle 12/23/02 9:06 AM can't generate prns for Canon cuz I don't have
drivers installed
Bubba 12/23/02 9:07 AM I don't even know the order #'s
woozle 12/23/02 9:07 AM easiest way to install 'em is when connected
to Hull Rd network
Bubba 12/23/02 9:07 AM drivers - bummer
woozle 12/23/02 9:07 AM Will send you order #s when we have app
working
Bubba 12/23/02 9:07 AM k
woozle 12/23/02 9:07 AM Actually, they should show up in the shipment
record I've created for you & you can print
them all at once
Bubba 12/23/02 9:07 AM k
woozle 12/23/02 9:13 AM does the .data.mdb part open ok?
Bubba 12/23/02 9:13 AM y
Bubba 12/23/02 9:14 AM there are parts it soesn't work w/though
Bubba 12/23/02 9:14 AM doesn't
woozle 12/23/02 9:14 AM then you're opening the old .app., not the new
.data. -- but the fact that it can read any of
the data at all means the .data. part must be
working.
woozle 12/23/02 9:15 AM uploading .app.zip
Bubba 12/23/02 9:16 AM new #'s go up through 53 something
woozle 12/23/02 9:16 AM y
Bubba 12/23/02 9:16 AM so it must be the new data
woozle 12/23/02 9:16 AM old .app. looking at new .data.
Bubba 12/23/02 9:17 AM rt
woozle 12/23/02 10:09 AM upload complete
Bubba 12/23/02 10:09 AM k
woozle 12/23/02 10:10 AM bother, I don't seem to have any notes on how
to make out the ZR check. Was it HOLD 30?
woozle 12/23/02 10:10 AM and what was the total?
Bubba 12/23/02 10:11 AM all 3 were hold 30 w/LB needing $500 upfront
Bubba 12/23/02 10:11 AM total ?
woozle 12/23/02 10:11 AM I don't have the amount for the check for ZR
Bubba 12/23/02 10:12 AM the driver will tell you
woozle 12/23/02 10:12 AM I'll need that if it hasn't arrived by the
time I have to go out, which will be in about
an hour
woozle 12/23/02 10:12 AM cuz I'll need to leave a check in an envelope
Bubba 12/23/02 10:12 AM I'll call
woozle 12/23/02 10:12 AM Also, we need to call LB about the missing
lamps and one or two other things
Bubba 12/23/02 10:12 AM put a list together
woozle 12/23/02 10:13 AM it's mostly in the email I sent, but there is
one additional item which I'll have to dig
for... LB sent the wrong size; I said we'd ask
LB if they could drop-ship it since they
messed up... cc:ed you that, so you should be
able to find it...
Bubba 12/23/02 10:15 AM emails to customers?
woozle 12/23/02 10:15 AM there were also things we didn't order that
they sent and things we ordered that they
didn't send, but that's pretty much par. We
may have enough to place our next restock
without even needing a special shipment from
them... but all that can wait until after the
Shipping Crisis has passed. The main urgent
thing is What Happened To The Lamps? Cuz they
charged us for them.
woozle 12/23/02 10:15 AM emails to customers>?
woozle 12/23/02 10:16 AM (carting laptop downstairs, brb)
Bubba 12/23/02 10:16 AM the list is spread across the emails sent to
customers?
Bubba 12/23/02 10:17 AM left a message w/ZR to call me w/total. I'll
give them a few minutes and call again
woozle 12/23/02 10:17 AM the main list is in one email to you, sent a
day or two ago. The only other item is in one
email to one customer, sent last night.
Bubba 12/23/02 10:18 AM kewl
woozle 12/23/02 10:18 AM (at least, I hope that's the case; best
recollection.)
Bubba 12/23/02 10:18 AM k
Bubba 12/23/02 10:19 AM gotta put the dogs in the pen. brb
woozle 12/23/02 10:19 AM (The email last night is certain, tho. And I
know I sent you email about other stuff a
couple of days ago. The only uncertainty is if
there are issues I didn't email you about.)
woozle 12/23/02 10:47 AM batch closed, $1415.49
Bubba 12/23/02 10:48 AM ahh just enough for postage
woozle 12/23/02 10:48 AM just about. Maybe a 12-pack afterwards.
Bubba 12/23/02 10:48 AM rt
Bubba 12/23/02 10:54 AM Maria Kamar just emailed me w/an address
change for her package cuz she's going to
where she was gonna take it
woozle 12/23/02 10:54 AM hit me
Bubba 12/23/02 10:54 AM is Maria Kamar, 6822 Raintree Dr., Columbus,
GA 31909.
Bubba 12/23/02 10:56 AM have you seen the Komodo Dragon shirt email
from just 40 minutes ago?
woozle 12/23/02 10:56 AM not yet
Bubba 12/23/02 10:57 AM D5328
Thank you so much! When my 6 year old
daughter put a komodo dragon t shirt
on her Christmas list, I thought it was a lost
cause...especially in her
size. I ordered hoping the shirt would arrive
by her birthday the end of
Feb., but her it is, in less than a week. You
are now in my bookmarks for
future shopping!
Thank you and have a great Holiday Season!!
MArsha
Bubba 12/23/02 10:57 AM We have both kinds, Yin and Yang
woozle 12/23/02 10:58 AM woo-hoo!
woozle 12/23/02 10:58 AM I've gotten a few nice emails from people I
apologized to lately about lateness, also
Bubba 12/23/02 10:58 AM kewl
woozle 12/23/02 10:59 AM we'll take a few hits, but I think we'll
overcome this.
Bubba 12/23/02 10:59 AM rt o
woozle 12/23/02 11:13 AM email on its way to you with Stephanie
Gorecki's phone #s and explanation of why we
need to call her. Can u?
Bubba 12/23/02 11:25 AM got it and yes
woozle 12/23/02 11:26 AM cool
woozle 12/23/02 11:26 AM printing packing slips
Bubba 12/23/02 1:02 PM one more time
Bubba 12/23/02 1:02 PM Extracting to "C:\etc\aps\Shared\Store\"

Extracting orders.app.mdb
Error: invalid compressed data to inflate
woozle 12/23/02 1:02 PM anything from ZR?
Bubba 12/23/02 1:02 PM not yet
Bubba 12/23/02 1:02 PM they may not be in till after Christmas
woozle 12/23/02 1:02 PM about to take a load to PO and get some
flat-rate envelopes and some lunch
Bubba 12/23/02 1:02 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 1:03 PM will leave a note to FedEx to redeliver after
4
Bubba 12/23/02 1:03 PM k
Bubba 12/23/02 2:11 PM I can't access the DB cuz I overwrote the old
.app so now I have nothing at all to read it
with.
Bubba 12/23/02 3:37 PM I need the names/addresses of the orders I'm
supposed to ship. The .app isn't working,
it's 3:36 and it has to go Overnight. You're
gonna have to send the packaging slip
woozle 12/23/02 4:43 PM we'll do it tomorrow
woozle 12/23/02 4:44 PM no sign of ZR shipment... I'm currently of the
opinion that they never sent it.
woozle 12/23/02 4:44 PM brb
Bubba 12/23/02 4:47 PM Hey Nick...it's too late to overnight these
things now... Bubba needed the addresses,
etc... and you can't be guaranteed next day
delivery after 5:00. They can still be mailed
overnight to make it look like an effort was
made until 6:00 but you would have to get
those addresses to us in the next few minutes
in order for that to be possible. If you do
get back on line... call us on 549-4044
because I can't wait on this end of the house
for the tell tale noise any longer and Bubba
has fallen asleep. We are both sick.
Lynne
woozle 12/23/02 4:47 PM we can overnight them tomorrow & they'll
arrive on xmas
woozle 12/23/02 4:48 PM well that's a fine how do you do... sorry, got
too much to do to call and straighten this
out.
woozle 12/23/02 4:49 PM anyone there?
Bubba 12/23/02 4:50 PM Hey Nick...it's too late to overnight these
things now... Bubba needed the addresses,
etc... and you can't be guaranteed next day
delivery after 5:00. They can still be mailed
overnight to make it look like an effort was
made until 6:00 but you would have to get
those addresses to us in the next few minutes
in order for that to be possible. If you do
get back on line... call us on 549-4044
because I can't wait on this end of the house
for the tell tale noise any longer and Bubba
has fallen asleep. We are both sick.
Lynne
Bubba 12/23/02 4:50 PM yes
woozle 12/23/02 4:50 PM Just sending the addresses won't do it cuz you
need packing slips. We can send the stuff
overnight tomorrow morning.
Bubba 12/23/02 4:53 PM You can send the packing slips from there...
We can send a note that the packing slips will
follow as the merchandise was here... etc...
Bubba 12/23/02 4:57 PM Are you still there? Are we finished talking?
woozle 12/23/02 4:58 PM icq is fighting me
Bubba 12/23/02 4:58 PM I hope you win.
woozle 12/23/02 4:58 PM sending email
Bubba 12/23/02 4:58 PM May the force be with you...
woozle 12/23/02 5:01 PM email sent.
Bubba 12/23/02 5:01 PM k
Bubba 12/23/02 5:05 PM Bubba staggered in just after the woozle
sounds started coming through icq... I filled
him in... he read the email and made noises of
agreement regarding the situation. He has
again decended into the abyss... I follow. Be
well, Santa.
Lynne
woozle 12/23/02 5:05 PM u2
Bubba 12/23/02 5:06 PM Hey! That would be a helluvah name for a band!
:-P
woozle 12/23/02 5:41 PM when yr back up -- go to
http://redhouse.com/orders.app.zip and save to
disk. I just did that and it unzips just fine.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:04 PM got the .app and when I click the order
processing button I get a dialog box that
says'\\ZOE\DATA\store\orders.data.mdb isnt a
valid path. Make sure that the path name is
spelled correctly and that you are connected
to the server on which the files reside.
woozle 12/23/02 8:05 PM ok. now we come to the reconfig. I'll have to
step you thru it.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:07 PM got wizard
Bubba 12/23/02 8:10 PM ?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:10 PM your's no coming to me on your monitor?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:10 PM can you hear me?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:10 PM is there anybody out there?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:11 PM HEY MANG?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:13 PM wlcome back mang
woozle 12/23/02 8:15 PM icq prbs
woozle 12/23/02 8:15 PM got mel to suspend his download activities
Bubba 12/23/02 8:15 PM ahh
woozle 12/23/02 8:15 PM he needs his own private OC-3
woozle 12/23/02 8:15 PM (as do we all)
woozle 12/23/02 8:15 PM anyway... where was I... did you get the
"Linked Table Manager" dialog?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:16 PM there now
woozle 12/23/02 8:16 PM k. First, check the "always ask" box.
woozle 12/23/02 8:16 PM "always prompt for new location"
Bubba 12/23/02 8:16 PM always prompt?
woozle 12/23/02 8:16 PM y
Bubba 12/23/02 8:16 PM dun
woozle 12/23/02 8:18 PM Next. This is the tricky bit. You've got links
to maybe 5 different DBs, and they make it
very awkward to deal with. You have to check
off only the boxes that correspond to one
particular DB at a time, or it becomes a real
nuisance. So start by checking all the boxes
which are linked to "....\orders.data.mdb".
Bubba 12/23/02 8:19 PM so where are the store, catalog, orders, stock
and the others buttons?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:19 PM checking them
woozle 12/23/02 8:20 PM "where", or "what"?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:22 PM buttons on the side for each catagory like
select and deselect all
Bubba 12/23/02 8:22 PM think I've gotten them all
woozle 12/23/02 8:22 PM if you've missed any, we'll spot them later.
Next...
Bubba 12/23/02 8:22 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 8:24 PM Press the OK button. It will ask you to find
orders.data.mdb; what I would do is go thru
the network neighborhood to find it -- that
way your .app. part will work from any
computer, not just Bubba. The question then
is, do you have your "My Documents" folder
shared as "work"? If so, I think I can make a
good guess at the path to look down...
Bubba 12/23/02 8:25 PM Select New Location of CardBatches
woozle 12/23/02 8:25 PM sounds like you checked one that you shouldnta
Bubba 12/23/02 8:25 PM chkng
woozle 12/23/02 8:26 PM or if that's the first table, then you're ok
woozle 12/23/02 8:26 PM my mistake; that's just the first table
woozle 12/23/02 8:26 PM is My Documents shared as "work" on your PC?
woozle 12/23/02 8:26 PM If it is, then I think you want to go to
\\bubba\work\data\store\orders.data.mdb -- let
me know if it's not there.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:28 PM mydocuments\appdata\store
woozle 12/23/02 8:29 PM ok, but go thru network neighborhood -- not
"my computer"
Bubba 12/23/02 8:29 PM why?
woozle 12/23/02 8:29 PM \\bubba\work\appdata\store
woozle 12/23/02 8:29 PM as i essplained, that way it will work from
any computer, not just Bubba
Bubba 12/23/02 8:29 PM it's the same place
woozle 12/23/02 8:30 PM yes, but stoopid MS Access doesn't know that.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:30 PM oh, wow, that is stoopid
woozle 12/23/02 8:30 PM And if you're on a different computer, c:\my
documents is not the same as \\bubba\work;
they're only the same on your PC
Bubba 12/23/02 8:31 PM select orders.data.mdb?
woozle 12/23/02 8:31 PM on my computer, "c:\my documents" is
"\\gonzo\work", not "\\bubba\work" -- so if
you use the network path, you can load the DB
from anywhere and it will look on the same
computer for the data. Sharing. That sort of
thing.
woozle 12/23/02 8:31 PM select orders.data.mdb, yes
Bubba 12/23/02 8:32 PM successful
woozle 12/23/02 8:32 PM ok. now we go to the next db, which is...
(checking...)
woozle 12/23/02 8:32 PM catalog.data.mdb. Select all those, click OK,
repeat browsing process.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:34 PM select new location of Depts
woozle 12/23/02 8:34 PM catalog.data.mdb
Bubba 12/23/02 8:34 PM successful
woozle 12/23/02 8:35 PM you can skip orders-import for now... what's
next... checking...
woozle 12/23/02 8:35 PM stock.data.mdb -- check all those. repeat.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:36 PM stock.data refreshed
woozle 12/23/02 8:37 PM I think the only other one is Sources, and you
can probly skip that one too.
woozle 12/23/02 8:37 PM Close the Linked Table Mgr and try accessing
some forms.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:37 PM store.data.mdb
Bubba 12/23/02 8:38 PM orders-import.data.mdb
woozle 12/23/02 8:38 PM store... that's mainly for images, and they're
not going to be linked right for you
unfortunately.
woozle 12/23/02 8:38 PM orders-import you don't need.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:38 PM I di the store and refreshed
woozle 12/23/02 8:38 PM won't hurt anything
Bubba 12/23/02 8:38 PM k
Bubba 12/23/02 8:39 PM am done?
woozle 12/23/02 8:39 PM tentatively, y
Bubba 12/23/02 8:39 PM packages button yeilds a Run-time error
woozle 12/23/02 8:39 PM whatsit say
Bubba 12/23/02 8:40 PM vbz.net Orders can't find the field 'ID'
referred to in your expression
woozle 12/23/02 8:40 PM never mind, so does mine -- I never use that
button. Need to take it out.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:40 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 8:41 PM Try Shipments
Bubba 12/23/02 8:41 PM got it
Bubba 12/23/02 8:41 PM which are mine?
woozle 12/23/02 8:41 PM I probly need to update your .data. with the
stuff for you to ship
Bubba 12/23/02 8:41 PM please
Bubba 12/23/02 8:42 PM looks good and I'm going to get a cup of
chamomile tea and go to bed.
woozle 12/23/02 8:42 PM I need to make sure I've got all the packages
created; I've got a shipment with a note that
it's for you to ship, and it's got 3 items in
it. Will cross-check against what you pulled
yesterday (or was it the day before).
Bubba 12/23/02 8:43 PM it's all the same man
woozle 12/23/02 8:43 PM yes, and what's he doing here?
woozle 12/23/02 8:44 PM ok. 1. Did you put the Pegasus shirt back?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:44 PM not yet
Bubba 12/23/02 8:44 PM is in the box behind me
woozle 12/23/02 8:45 PM k. Should I keep reminding you?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:45 PM tomorrow yes
woozle 12/23/02 8:45 PM will try to do so.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:45 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 8:45 PM wish someone made a good alarm-clock program
for Windows...
woozle 12/23/02 8:46 PM Running down the list of what you pulled...
Bubba 12/23/02 8:46 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 8:47 PM 1. ZR-MILES-1605-M Corner shirt (Medium
T-shirt) -- we have this on order from ZR;
checking to see what the order loox like...
woozle 12/23/02 8:47 PM (the customer order, I mean)
Bubba 12/23/02 8:47 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 8:49 PM I show no open orders for that shirt in M. L,
yes. AHH -- got it. The order is on hold with
a credit issue -- address mismatch.
Bubba 12/23/02 8:50 PM k
woozle 12/23/02 8:50 PM So hold onto the shirt and call the guy
whenever.
woozle 12/23/02 8:50 PM You should have the info now; it's D5111
woozle 12/23/02 8:50 PM next...
Bubba 12/23/02 8:51 PM remind me of that tomorrow to if possible. It
feels like my right eye is gonna splode onto
the monitor
Bubba 12/23/02 8:51 PM I'll be up early in the morring so let's go
over everything then.
woozle 12/23/02 8:51 PM 2. ZR-JIMI-1401-M Swirl -- package created,
ready for u to ship. Next...
woozle 12/23/02 8:52 PM There are only 4 more items; you dying over
there?
Bubba 12/23/02 8:52 PM go ahead and send them
woozle 12/23/02 8:52 PM 3 is Pegasus, which you can put back. Next...
woozle 12/23/02 8:53 PM 4. LB-11575-L/TD St. Stephen -- I seem to have
created a pkg for all 4 shirts including that
one, so either I was deluded from being in a
hurry or we got one from LB. Checking restock
listing...
woozle 12/23/02 8:55 PM not from restock. Let me see if I can find the
pkg...
woozle 12/23/02 8:57 PM Found it; it's missing St. Steve, so I need to
break that into 2 parts unless you'd rather
ship SS to me. Let me see if there's a
deadline...
woozle 12/23/02 8:58 PM Needs it by Jan 6. What do you think? I think
there'd be plenty of time under ordinary
circs, and probably enough time now...
woozle 12/23/02 8:58 PM ...but maybe we should cut our risks and just
send 2 pkgs
woozle 12/23/02 8:59 PM And the remaining 2 are already taken care of
-- so the only issue is that one. Shall I just
go ahead and split the St. Steve into its own
pkg?
woozle 12/23/02 9:01 PM (Has Bubba, in his illness, fallen comatose at
the computer desk? What a terrible place to
sleep. I think there should be an organization
which gives people nice beds to sleep in so
they don't have to sleep at their computers.
Please give generously.)
Bubba 12/23/02 9:01 PM anything found yet?
woozle 12/23/02 9:01 PM are you receiving me?
woozle 12/23/02 9:02 PM are you receiving me now? (take 2)
Bubba 12/23/02 9:03 PM anything found yet?
woozle 12/23/02 9:03 PM r u receiving me now yet?
Bubba 12/23/02 9:03 PM y
woozle 12/23/02 9:03 PM finally... I think we had another 1-way convo
going... Here's the dialog/monologue:
woozle (8:52 PM) :
There are only 4 more items; you dying over
there?
Bubba (8:52 PM) :
go ahead and send them
woozle (8:52 PM) :
3 is Pegasus, which you can put back. Next...
woozle (8:53 PM) :
4. LB-11575-L/TD St. Stephen -- I seem to have
created a pkg for all 4 shirts including that
one, so either I was deluded from being in a
hurry or we got one from LB. Checking restock
listing...
woozle (8:55 PM) :
not from restock. Let me see if I can find the
pkg...
woozle (8:57 PM) :
Found it; it's missing St. Steve, so I need to
break that into 2 parts unless you'd rather
ship SS to me. Let me see if there's a
deadline...
woozle (8:58 PM) :
Needs it by Jan 6. What do you think? I think
there'd be plenty of time under ordinary
circs, and probably enough time now...
woozle (8:58 PM) :
...but maybe we should cut our risks and just
send 2 pkgs
woozle (8:59 PM) :
And the remaining 2 are already taken care of
-- so the only issue is that one. Shall I just
go ahead and split the St. Steve into its own
pkg?
woozle (9:01 PM) :
(Has Bubba, in his illness, fallen comatose at
the computer desk? What a terrible place to
sleep. I think there should be an organization
which gives people nice beds to sleep in so
they don't have to sleep at their computers.
Please give generously.)
Bubba (9:01 PM) :
anything found yet?
woozle (9:01 PM) :
are you receiving me?
woozle (9:02 PM) :
are you receiving me now? (take 2)
Bubba 12/23/02 9:04 PM rodger that houston
woozle 12/23/02 9:05 PM the remaining issue is, should you ship St.
Steve from there, or should we attempt to
coagulate here? I'm leaning towards shipping
separately.
woozle 12/23/02 9:05 PM It has a Jan. 6 deadline
woozle 12/23/02 9:05 PM along with the other 3 shirts in the order,
which I have here.
woozle 12/23/02 9:05 PM D5230
Bubba 12/23/02 9:05 PM same shipping to him or you
Bubba 12/23/02 9:06 PM if to you first then it's 1.? for shipping
woozle 12/23/02 9:06 PM I'm thinking deadlines. It will cost more to
ship to me then to customer, but less nuisance
4 u cuz no packing slip needed.
woozle 12/23/02 9:06 PM ...and I already created the package with all
4 shirts. But it's a pretty trivial matter to
break it up into 2 separate pieces.
Bubba 12/23/02 9:07 PM I'll send it to you and there should be plenty
of time
woozle 12/23/02 9:07 PM Ok
Bubba 12/23/02 9:07 PM that's St. Stephen rt?
woozle 12/23/02 9:07 PM Y... Large
woozle 12/23/02 9:08 PM And this concludes the updating of the db; I
will zip it up and upload it -- and if it
gives you trouble on the download, then we'll
know that something is Messed Up with your
FTP.
