exceptions are always bugs, so post them to bugtrack. You didn't
mention GEMS version. Also, try to quote the exception error in the
text of your post -- its hard to do a search on a picture.
Under 1.17.20ish, this exception is triggered
when GEMS has a ballot rotation, but has no matching ballot style.
That "can't happen", so GEMS lets us know something is
amis.
If you have a sequence to reproduce the
problem, we'll try to track it down. There was nothing
"wrong" with what you did -- putting a header on the back of
the ballot is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
Sorry no EB. You gotta bring down GEMS
for that.

- This maybe should go to bugtrack, but it is late and this is
safer...
- I was programming a very small election. I had generated ballots
several times with no probs. Then added the "Account" header
(database attached) and set it to appear on the back of the ballot in
column 1. I had also linked it to race 10 to bring it onto the ballot
automatically. Maybe not the best thing to do, but I'm a rookie. (And do
not ask me what I am doing next week and the next two months.)
- Upon generating ballots, I got a GEMS exception error. Here is a
capture of the Exception window to prove it. I immediately captured the
exception screen and backed up the database. The exception was very
repeatable then, but now upon reloading the gbf and regenerating the EID
before regenerating ballot artwork, I get no exception.
- Maybe does not qualify as a "hard crash", but I
tried.
- Now, about that EB (that's "earned beer" to you
rookies)...
- Mark - finally smiling after a crappy week. Good night.
