EPTAfter spending an hour figuring out how to hex edit SC2000.dat so that my mayor's name was Montegomery rather than Sim City 2000 Mayor, I had a lot of fun building a city named after my wife's cat. It was a nice nostalgia trip, and it was good to know I'm not completely incompetent at city sims, just mostly incompetent.

Unfortunately, it's a necessary evil with the data I have (and in this case, have to extract partially from external sources) in BusinessObjects. Have to take rows of strings based on a user entered field, concatenate them into one long string in one cell by customer, fill in the areas where the user entered field isn't entered with a derived substring that matches up with external data... The hard part is figuring out how to deal with the MULTIVALUE errors it's throwing when there are multiple rows in a customer, some with the user entered field filled, and some without. | ||

Which is exactly why I code reviewed something involving it earlier today. But IT'S STILL DUMB *sulk* | ||

I've heard that one rapes everyone :p | ||
