caddymanOh, waily, waily, waily,waily.
The new system is so secure we can’t get anything out of it. We were told to save all our files to the network G:\ drive as we would lose access to our local drives. Well, that happened. Unfortunately we never got our G:\ drive. We got someone else’s.
We have just managed a temporary fix that allows us to map our original G:\ drive to an existing X:\ drive, so at least we can access the folders and documents. Sadly I do not have MS Query anymore, which means that I can no longer interrogate our database. A quick email to the helpdesk elicited the response “what is MS Query?.”
We have people who know the answers to this and how to put it right, but they have had their administration rights removed, so they are as helpless as we are for the time being.
The fallback position of logging on through an unconverted PC and downloading the information we need onto flash memory and manually transferring it to our personal drives has been stopped dead by the fact that the USB ports have been disabled.
Thus far, LINK has been a disaster. DISCONNECTED is a more accurate term for where we are right now.

We had email accounts within the day ;)
