Sivadam

This thread brings back a few memories. Sorry I can no longer be of assistance but I have been retired 10 years now. I am amazed that the same problems are still cropping up after all this time!

This is a blast from the past. I have been retired 8 years now. I used to be a regular on here but I often used to refer people to SupportNet where I posted most of my help messages.

Wow! This is a throwback a few years - I've been retired for 5 years now! Glad to see my advice is still useful. I wonder if it still is in SupportNet (or whatever it's called now! )

Sorry Bill, but I have been retired nearly 3 years now and so do not have access anymore. I am also 3 years 'out of date', which is why I no longer normally contribute to this forum. (Tho' I sometimes still do keep glancing at what is happening!)

Things don't change much on here! Pity I have retired. I could have had a much more informed input. But why do people do the wrong thing and then blame the software or the suppliers! It seems that somebody else needs to pick up the cudgel I used to wield!

Yep. Anne's and my paths have crossed a goodly number of times!

I wish .....................

You could volunteer your services Gill! I bet they would welcome a Junior dataset to test on!

Thanks to you too Matt. I very much appreciated the tips you gave us to enable us to get SOLUS3 running efficiently! I am sure that others will take up the cudgel if things start to get out of hand again! And I've used the 'I told you so!' speech far too much in the past!

I just thought that Edugeek Users would like to know that Sivadam retired as from last Friday, 7th September. After 44 Years working in schools (including 29 as a Teacher and 15 as a member of the Support Staff as well as over 30 as Timetabler!) I think it was about time to call it a day, especially as I turned 65 last January! I have one major regret in leaving at this time! I managed to collect a number of those infernal Green Squares instead of those lovely Red ones that I like so much. (Never let it be said that Mike Davis was not a helpful soul when he wanted to be! ) Ah well! I will still be keeping a watching brief on these forums so, who knows, I may be able to redress the balance at some later date! Thanks to all those many users on Edugeek who have supported my stance over the past few years and I hope you all prosper in the future, SIMS users or not!

Matt, I beat you to it! I started my retirement on Friday after 44 Years and 1 Week working in Schools (including over 30 years as a Timetabler)! Not sure who Suffolk will be consulting now when they have NT6 issues! Good Luck with the new venture Matt!

You will find it in Examinations Organiser. If you do not have acces then see the Exams Officer. If you want it from SIMS via a report then it is in the 'Additional Information' section of a Student Report design.

It may just have been the OCR Nationals file that was incorrect. Or it may have just been a few schools that were affected. I certainly helped somebody else out on SupportNet that also had a faulty file! Sorry Pete, I didn't realise you were talking about a different issue.

We posted a solution to this (for ONATs) on SupportNet Forum this morning. The File format was wrong!

Sorry swiftysw1 - it was not aimed at you specifically. I empathise with you on this! If nobody had used EO here in the recent past, then I would be asking some very pertinent questions to the Exams Officer and maybe to senior other staff as well.
