Sounds like you are one of the IT guys that actually tries and helps people fix problems.

Here's the answer I got this morning and the past 2 days for a problem I am having with my applications not interfacing properly.

Me: Yeah, my (insert program name here) isn't trasnfering data to (insert of program here)

IT: Have you logged out and back into both systems

Me: Yup.

IT: Logged out and restarted the computer?

Me: Yup.

It: Hmm, well, try that again, call me back and let me know what happens.



Now, not to be mean, cuz I know that restarting etc can clear up a lot of problems, but if this has been happening for 3 days, you'd think that the conversation would take a slightly different turn.
I dunno, maybe I'm just being a stupid end user, but its getting hard to do my job when program A wont talk to program B.
Of course, thats on top of the fact that my user ID got deleted by a back up maintenance that took 4 hours to restore :) But at least I could not work and had a legit excuse for it :)
