Failed inspiration

I had a sudden thought this morning in the shower about the comments. The sudden realization that I had put the link to the comments BlogItemNumber in quotes so it would look for a string instead of a number but I hadn’t put the quotes around the second part of the comments code where that same tag shows up. Maybe that was causing the errors? I hurriedly finished my shower, did a hack job of shaving, rushed in to work, fixed that, tried it and…

There’s still an internal server error when I try to use the blogid as text in the database. Grr. I’ll get back at that later, I have invoices to produce right at the moment. I’m open to any suggestions, although I’m getting more and more convinced that we’ve simply hit a limitation of Access and/or ASP.

    Regarding my previous question from the weekend about where you draw the line between keeping up a good relationship with your users and letting them walk all over you with non-work technology issues, I would mostly err on the side of letting them walk over you.

    I was listening to the latest In The Trenches earlier today, and found myself nodding my head in agreement when Kevin was talking about knowing someone’s being let go and having to disable accounts as it’s happening.
