Okay, I was wrong about 'attending' today.

I signed up for the webinar on Thursday, June 8, at 3:00 p.m. (EDT).

Teach me to actually read my confirmation letters.

I can't attend today because of a meeting, but would one of you please mention to BB that they need to pull their heads out and change it so that the length of the export path can be longer then 64 characters? I'm trying to save a queue to:

c:\documents and settings\sndgc\desktop\scheduled\data_int\{query_name}.xls

and it says its too long, yet I can very easily run the query manually and it works fine... Talk about another annoyance, especially when they were supposed to FIX queue so it actually worked...

THANKS!
Doug

[Peter Gulka]

I'll definately mention it

[Peter Gulka]

I mentioned it and Chris Geady seemed mystified. He is a Solutions Engineer for Canada.

[Doug Creek]

Bah, figures, more "add me to the list" solutions... Wonder how many of those actually get fixed with everything else that they need to fix...

Thanks Peter!

I'd love to see "the list" of add me to...probably way to long for any posting LOL

[Doug Creek]

You know, that would be interesting... They should post that as a webpage and make it so you can just scroll down the list and see what others have requested...

There wouldn't be a webpage long enought to hold it!

I asked if I could have a list of the suggestions I had clicked on - they told me that was not available....

AMAZING!

MY thought was - well how in the heck do they keep track of it then?

[Peter Gulka]

I've asked that before as well. Being able to pull such a list would likely crash their database server.

[Doug Creek]

select knowledgebase_id, knowledgebase_desc
from knowledgebase
where knowledgebase_userid = 'xxxx'
and knowledgebase_type = 'add me to the list' ;

How hard is that?

Of course, after seeing the RE tables, they probably added 10 tables where 2 or 3 would have done nicely
