Dale,

Thanks for the updated info. I didn't realize that a newer version was put
on the site. I don't even remember seeing it there a few days ago...

Anyway, I updated my Emerald to 2.5.334 and now the email field under
Incidents -- Add only shows our support address when you first hit Add. If
you change the type to some other incident type, the field gets cleared out
(for all types) and no email is sent unless you manually type in an address.
I included that in an email to IEA support a few minutes ago along with a CC
batch-in problem we're now having. Actually, batch-printing now takes
forever; it has to count to something over 36,000 before displaying the 6
invoices generated today.

You also mentioned that I might be using a trusted connection to the SQL
server. How would I determine that? If this is the case, it appears to
only be affecting my workstation at the office. I log into Emerald from
home using the same username as what I use at the office, but I log into my
home computer using a different username than I do at the office. The home
username is the same as the Emerald username. The office username is
different from the Emerald username. Both home and office network usernames
are valid on the network.

Josh
