Steve,
I just tried this on my machine using the Alameda database and all worked correctly. Does this happen on all of you machines? If so could you send me the audit files (election.adt) from the removable disk and the backup directory.

> At the risk of causing more problems or seeming stupid, I've spoken to Jeff, who indicates he believes he reported something similar about two weeks ago. Voting in test mode seemed to go OK. It's when we try to get started once we've SET FOR ELECTION that is problem. Our assumption was that we would SET FOR ELECTION at the warehouse, turn units off, deliver to sites, and turn it back on, print zero report and go. We can't do that.
