Windows Exp print error for VT Coordinator

Rule #1: Never trust the user.

Rule #2: The software always does exactly what the programmer told it to do.

Some kidding aside, I have always been impressed with programming savvy folks who can look at a problem and discover that a URL might be too long to fit in a browser, for example. Who knew that a 2,083 URL character limit might get overrun? The same guy who figured out that his father hard coded the passwords into the gwbasic game software many years ago.

The poor VT Coordinator in the huge ward never saw this problem coming.

I'm glad you guys see it that way. Too often it's "make the thing work, add security later."

One advantage to putting it in the URL is that it can be bookmarked.

If the "individual_id" is in the URL, doesn't that make it a static list and not dynamic?

I call that "working as implemented."

Yes. We'll need to have someone dig into that.
