some of a data entry people! they enter data into a large database with many different tables (to them its simply a pretty gui app), but each night we compress this data to run reports, and when they enter an invalid character or mistype a date i causes my life to suck when i come into work. i spent the better part of my morning so far wading through a file with over 450,000 rows to find where someone mistyped a date! then when i got it fixed and re ran the reports, it broke again because of another mistyped date. i was so pissed i thought i was going to scream. the good thing is that i can see from the records who typed it, and i just sent her a nice email reminding her of the importance of accuracy not speed!

Tell your gui app developers to change it so it won't accept bad characters or dates!

No offense, bro, but if you come here to rant about accuracy in typing, you should probably re-read your post...

I think you should take MolGen's advice.

Yeah man, data validation at either the database or application level would save y'all a lot of time.

we have requested it from the vendor, but they are very slow in getting this working.

Senior Helpdesk? how much time does that consume? Just make an automated voicemail that says you need to Reboot, and you have just covered that job.
