RE: Odd Due Dates

["Caputo, Corrine" <caputoc at westminster-mo dot edu>]

Hi... one thought is that if your Millennium doesn't have enough bandwidth or enough computer power to operate in, it then goes weird and does strange things that can't be explained.  We've had to deal with low bandwidth because of the "bandwidth hogs" and then computers that operated slowly because the program drained so much out of them just to function.  We now have 512 and they work fine but lesser machines didn't work so well.  But we've seen all of our modules act weird when the above was happening.  So your machines may be struggling with bandwidth issues or power issues of some type and thus they do "weirdness" that can't be explained.

Hi Tom,

Good thought, but my days closed file is ok.  The really odd thing is that 
the due date was correct in the item record, but not in the patron record.

Was the machine refusing to make a due date on a date mentioned in the Days
Closed table?  This happened here recently, so it comes to mind.

1.5.05

Hi everyone,

This morning we checked out 2 items that have 7 day loan periods.  The
correct due date is 1.12.05.  However,upon checkout, the due date  in the
patron's record appeared as 1.10.05--not even one of our loan periods (we
have 28 day, 14 day, 7 day and 3 day loan periods). I quit out of the
patron
record and viewed the item record and the correct due date was in the item
record (1.12.05). I then viewed the patron record again and the due dates
were no longer 1.10.05, but 1.12.05--the correct due date.   Has anyone
seen
this before?  I opened a call with III, but stuff like this creeps me
out--once I start questioning something as basic as due dates, I have to
start questioning everything and my brain just can't handle it!  Happy New
Year!
