At the risk of causing more problems or seeming stupid, I've
spoken to Jeff, who indicates he believes he reported something similar about
two weeks ago. Voting in test mode seemed to go OK. It's when we try
to get started once we've SET FOR ELECTION that is problem. Our assumption
was that we would SET FOR ELECTION at the warehouse, turn units off, deliver to
sites, and turn it back on, print zero report and go. We can't do
that.
Here goes:
Burn Database diskette
Load onto Ballot Station
Overwrite Secondary media - YES
Set for Election
Print zero report - Press Done - goes to Flag
Screen
Assume No voters vote first day on one or more ballot
stations
Insert Manager Card to exit ballot station
Brings up screen that gives "END ELECTION" or "SHELL" (It
seems to do this every time we insert Mgr Card)
When we select SHELL, and turn unit off, then back on for next
days voting
We get the OVERWRITE MEDIA message again, and in that process
we get:
"The following error has been detected
Exception in Ballot Station
Error Validating Main File - Election.adt
And we are hosed. And seem to have to burn a new
diskette. We are in a loop with this. This loop occurs whether we
select SHELL or END Election.
