Pop Quiz: So I get this urgent e-mail

that one of my applications is not working properly and one of the columns is not showing up in one of the datagrid controls. I find out that this is only happening to one person on the floor out of about 30 users. --This is the only info that I am presented with for this problem. Note: This is a small in-house app with a SQL Server Express backend and a Access 2007 front end. It is a very simple app. Off the top of your head, with out further investigation, what do you think is causing the one column not to be visible to this one user? Remember, this user has made a very big deal with this bug/error report and management is hounding me for answers. :)
He/She resizied one or more columns
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

First guess? The applications window extends off his monitor which is where the column is hiding! So while it's true he can't see it, it is actually there. :-D

1. Column hidden. 2. Column outside of monitor display side. 3. Column under an always-on-top app. 4. User has one eye closed, thereby not being able too see outside of narrow peripheral vision. 5. User is an idiot. 6. User IS an idiot.

They inadvertently clicked the first column, thus resizing it to the width of the control, and hiding the 2nd column as a result... Either that, or they have a piece of paper over the right side of the classes, obstructing their complete vieww of an otherwise normal screen... Or maybe they came back from lunch after utilizing one or more recreational drugs they found buried in their kid's sock drawer...

This reminds me of the support call by the user who couldn't get the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen because the mouse was at the edge of the mouse pad. The solution seemed fairly obvious to me... bigger mouse pad. :rolleyes:

bingo! Actually, I think you were all right. The column was not visible because they forgot they moved the columns to the right using the scroll bar. It has come to my attention that they did this on quite a few records, which you would think they would have noticed but alas they did not. To top it off, the manager on the floor didn't catch the problem (or didn't even look).

Did you do a search on the internet? :-D
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

No. However, I posted a question about in Q/A and also mentioned it in Bugs & Sugs. :)

Crack, lots and lots of crack smoking. Apparently it is mandatory for users to do before starting up any of my apps.

As lyrics go, I don't think a lot of them. I'm no good at these sorts of questions anyway so who is it by?

They seldom solve themselves. Most often they are just hiding, and will reappear at an even less appropriate time. :)
