  Subject: RE: GEMS 1-17-11 ballot generate 
  error
  
  This error doesn't 
  make sense.  GEMS 1-17-11 didn't exist on Nov 16, 2000.  What 
  version are you really running?
   
  As to your 
  "database with no precincts" description, I just created a database with no 
  precincts.  No internal error, just "Ballot not generated for some 
  precincts".  Now, that's not accurate, the ballots are generated for all 
  precincts (we have been over this before), but some people seem to like that 
  behavior.
   
  Finally, as to the 
  friendliness of the message, seems pretty friendly to me.  What would you 
  prefer it said?

    I 
    received the following error message when attempting to generate ballot 
    artwork in GEMS 1-17-11 using a database with no precincts 
    defined.
     
    
     
    How 
    about a more user friendly message?
