Part 17: When one receives a message stating, "[ItemCodeA]* is not [ItemCodeB] please change file names."
If one were to read this message, and see that all one's files were named [ItemCodeA], one might think, "Hey! I'm all set! Mine are correct already!"
Except one would be mistaken. Because the sender of this message intended to write this instead: "[ItemCodeA]* is now [ItemCodeB] please change file names."
Changes everything, doesn't it? Which is what I had to do. Change everything. Which broke all the links in MailShop. Which then had to be re-linked. About two hours of work, made even more ass-chapping because I thought for one brief, shining moment that I wouldn't have to do it after all.
*Here, item codes are keys that allow one system to access another and determine things like inventory. Not so very exciting, but there you go. Very important to my life.
