>   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.
