    Yep, so many clients: I have this problem and an error pops up, I need immediate help.

    Me: Ok send me the data and the error log, and a description of what it is telling you on screen.

    Client: I forget what it said, i didn’t save the log, And i needed to keep working so I deleted the file and started again.

    OR

    Client: My set of files is doing this, and giving me this specific error.

    Me: Ah OK, that is a known issue, close all the fikes and open the top level only, open each sub fike one by one till the error pops up, that will be the culprit so run this clean up tool on that file only.

    Week later, Client : Im having that same error again, can you help?

    Me: That cleanup tool should have fixed it.

    Client: I didn’t have time to do those steps so I just kept working as is.

    me: hopefully a gangster shoots me in a drive by crossfire on the way home.
