RE: Mandatory Job Log

True, but the latest incident had nothing to do with vacations, but it
suddenly became "critical" over a week later. Really can't blame the user -
this time. We only have two clerks here, and both said, "We didn't close
such-and-such for December but the system (application) says it is closed."
I verified that the application was, indeed, closed; i.e., posted to the
G/L.

Turned out (after a bit of brow-beating) that the Treasurer/Owner had
"accidentally" run the close before December was even over! Even though
there's a "Do You really want to do this?" panel, he gets distracted and
just turns around and presses the Enter key. I have long been of the
opinion that a confirmation should require a more positive response than
just pressing the Enter key, such as pressing a command/function key. I'll
probably get around to implementing that for this application since it
caused so much turmoil last week.

Oh well, that should help cover that occasional week off. :-)
