Re: A cautionary tale
I managed to completely exclude myself from my own laptop version of Recorder, you can reproduce this as follows:
1. Ensure that you are the only registered user of Recorder (i.e. delete Default User)
2. Ensure that there are two versions of yourself in the Names and Addresses module
3. Merge the version of you that is the System Manager with the version of you that is not even registered as a user
4. Exit Recorder and try to get in again :D
I got back in - I would be interested in hearing of other people's solutions (theoretical ones of course)
Don't try this at home unless you are really certain you can restore your access
P.S. It might just be worth a bit of an adjustment to the way that the merge facility works to prevent this
