Ballot generation - GEMS Exception (EB for the rookie?)

[Mark S Earley <meglobal@earthlink.net>]

This maybe should go to bugtrack, but it is late and this is
safer...

I was programming a very small election. I had generated ballots several
times with no probs. Then added the "Account" header (database
attached) and set it to appear on the back of the ballot in column 1. I
had also linked it to race 10 to bring it onto the ballot automatically.
Maybe not the best thing to do, but I'm a rookie. (And do not ask me what
I am doing next week and the next two months.)

Upon generating ballots, I got a GEMS exception error. Here is a capture
of the Exception window to prove it. I immediately captured the exception
screen and backed up the database. The exception was very repeatable
then, but now upon reloading the gbf and regenerating the EID before
regenerating ballot artwork, I get no exception.



Maybe does not qualify as a "hard crash", but I 
tried.

Now, about that EB (that's "earned beer" to you
rookies)...

Mark - finally smiling after a crappy week. Good night.
