The Perils of Being The One Who Knows IT

Various cell phones from 1992 to 2004.  Legend:  1. NEC Cellstar 500 series (1992)  2. Nokia 2110 series (1994)  3. Nokia 5120 (1998)  4. Kyocera 2135 (2002)  5. Audiovox CDM8300 (2002)  6. Samsung SCH-A650 (2004)Image via Wikipedia

Ah, the perils of being the one who knows how to format computers and resolve printer problems at home sure is great, right? For the family, yes. For the one, NO. After facing so many problems at work, do you really think that back at home, the one would even want to resolve any problem? Think again.

The 3 in 1 printer can’t fax anything out or receive anything in. So, what should the one who knows IT do? Shrug. That’s because a fax machine has nothing to do with IT. Either the line is corrupted or the printer needs to be changed. Or maybe the printer’s setting is wrong.

At home, the one has to solve TV problems, virus-ridden laptops, mobile phone problems and anything that has remotely something to do with IT. It isn’t fun when work gets dragged into personal lives too. Able to resolve problem is one thing.

Being the one to be asked to resolve the problems every single time is another thing. Can get a break or not?

Table Data Wrong

Written by WishBoNe on November 28, 2007 – 3:18 pm

Have been trying to populate a table but the last cell at the bottom right often end up with all the information in the array backwards. I’m not sure what is wrong here. Using 2 arrays to store the information and creating a table looked easy. Unfortunately, the information being populated looked awkward.

Code used:

Set rtFld = New NotesRichTextItem (nDoc, “sRptResults”)
tblRow = divCnt
tblCol = 3

Set rtNav = rtFld.CreateNavigator
Call rtFld.AppendTable(tblRow, tblCol)
Call rtNav.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLECELL)

For i = 1 To tblCol
For k = 1 To tblRow While k <= tblRow
Call rtFld.BeginInsert(rtNav)
Call rtFld.AppendText (k)
Call rtFld.EndInsert
Call rtNav.FindNextElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLECELL)
Call rtFld.BeginInsert(rtNav)
Call rtFld.AppendText (divNameList(k))
Call rtFld.EndInsert
Call rtNav.FindNextElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLECELL)
Call rtFld.BeginInsert(rtNav)
Call rtFld.AppendText (divCntList(k))
Call rtFld.EndInsert
Call rtNav.FindNextElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLECELL)
Next Wend
Next

Call nDoc.Save (False, False)

Wonder what is wrong.

Update: Just change the inner loop to a While loop and it works find!
