     Had that same issue here, only it was with check stubs.  Had a gal
     complained that her check was wrong.  Found out she was looking at the
     wrong stub and associating it with her paycheck.  All while looking at
     the
     spool file.
     They promoted her to director of personnel.

       I once had a client who swore she was secure. She gave me *user
     authority.
       A few minutes later I remarked (somewhat jokingly) that she was
     overpaid.
       She had output queues named for previous years, and those output
     queues
       contained saved W2 spool files.

         I'll never forget back several years ago when I walked into the head
     of
         accounting for a municipality in the SE, walked up to her terminal,
         created
         my own USRPRF on the fly from a signon screen and in 4 minutes was
         playing
         in her payroll and G/L....I think they were at seclvl(10) or
         lower...forget
         back then...  The problem here was that their business pudnah had
     set
     it
         up
         that way and told them to leave it alone so that they could dial in
         easily...or some other stupid stuff...  Well, they changed a few
     things
         the
         next day...  Not sure if they're still with the same pudnah... :)
