Re: Open file based on user input - follow up question

Nope, not pulling from a database. Taking user input, verifying the name and pin are correct and then displaying a file. Working on some other files and had an epiphany. While the name may not be unique, the pin should be. I've just switched the variables around and will test it in a few. Should wor...

Open file based on user input - follow up question

Using the following code works for most of my scenarios but I've run into an issue. I have two users named Mary, each with a different ticket number.
