Here's the routine in a nutshell: User pulls up custom form and in body enters a list of items and prices for ordering. User sends to manager for approval. Manager responds to sender with approval so user can make the purchase. Receipts must be itemized and turned in to accounting within 3 working days. That's where the system falls apart. The managers have trouble keeping up with these approvals and that 3-day requirement. Can I create a report that's sent to the manager every morning with a list of receipts that are due to be turned in on that day -- 3 days from the manager's approval. Seems like a simple request. Any guidance? Susan H.

It happens every 10 or 15 years. I love shopping for clothes as much as any guy does. Which is to say doing my own root canal seems to be a more enjoyable use of my time. But Pundit always handles this. We went together to Macy's, she cruised the racks, loaded me up with pants, went into the dressing room with me, came out, did a second load (after we figured out what would fit and what wouldn't), did a third trip and WALLA! I got me two - one black, one gray - and they fit! And of course, she had the handful of coupons so the $150 Ralph Lauren slacks rang up at $47 and a similar price reduction with the others (don't ask me how she does that - it's part skill, part art). And she made sure I came away with a few more unplanned items. And she got an $80 pair of shoes for $13 (I..I just can't explain it...). But that's our routine when I need clothes - sometimes I just stand in the dressing room and she keeps bringing things to me until I call it quits (like all guys I have a very limited tolerance for trying on clothes). Then she knows there's no point in asking me to try on even one more item. So a successful trip to the store and I don't have to go back for like, years. If I'm lucky. 2) So she also got me a pedicure where she gets her nails done - local place, we can walk there. All Vietnamese women. Anyway, it was my first pedicure, and I didn't know what to expect. But the foot massage alone was worth the price of admission. I decided to forego the polish but my toenails instead of looking hacked off like I always do them, are beauties. She sculpted those bad boys into perfect arcs. My feet never looked so good. r -----Original Message----- From: Dba-office [mailto:dba-office-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tina Norris Fields Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2015 11:26 AM To: dba-office at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [Dba-office] To All You Dads Hey guys - happy Father's Day!
