Square Wheels Posted July 29, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2014 I find that confusing too. Is this person supposed to know, or are they doing the best they can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 29, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2014 if they can't use Access, what would make you think they even know what a join is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopped Liver Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted July 29, 2014 if they can't use Access, what would make you think they even know what a join is? I'm trying to explain to him how data is pulled and what the implications are due to the way a system was built. The mighty mental giants who built the system were smart enough to store historical employee structures one of the tables, but they didn't date them. The queries will pull anyone who ever worked under a particular VP, rather than just those who worked during a given timeframe. I don't have rights to go change the tables or the queries in that system. Dumbass can't understand what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on her hard drive when it crashed. hmm...hard drives seem to be crashing in a number of agencies under the executive branch but I'm sure that's just a combination of bad luck and budget shortfalls from sequestration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
