Re: ballot header and layout HELP



John: It is my understanding that 1-17-20 is a fairly stable version. Does anyone know any different? It should not have any other effect that I am aware of. Everything else should still work. The main purpose for the report upgrade was to obtain the ballot order report. This will be a 2 card ballot with the first card being considered a "regular election" and the second card being the "special election". Is anyone aware of any problems with the use of a second card other than the accoubtability issue - which I have made them aware of?

Tab: There seemed to be a problem with gems. I upgraded to 1-17-20 and things worked ok after that.

the longer text were redone and then worked better.

Don,

 

    I have looked at your database. I do not have the problem with the "TEMPBALLOTV" error message, so try dumping and loading the database to see of that fixes the problem.

 

    As for laying out the ballot the text used in the question is formatted rather badly for the space provided. You will need to copy the text to Word and then reformat it with smaller indents and fonts and the copy the data back into the question.  This should fix your problem.

Subject: ballot header and layout HELP

 

The attached election is in 1-17-16. The original layout was 3 col front and back. There are several long propositions. After entering the rest of the races I attempted to change the election title header to a 4 col. Got the following message: Object "TEMPBALLOTV" already exist - retry or cancel. Found that the ballot op was still at three col. Changed to 4, tried again - same message. Deleted the header and tried to make a new one - same message and will not allow me to create a new header or change an existing one. Will not lay out the ballots. Any ideas. I need to have artwork end of today or early tomorrow.

Thanks: Don
