Error executing Agent Assignment

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Brad,
Sorry, I misunderstood the situation. I took 'execute the rule' as being =
a
separate step...
Anyway, yes I've had similar issues - up until the agent is determined, t=
he
next step executes under the previous user - the technical log shows this=
.
You have two options: I think turning off 'advance with dialog' would do =
the
trick, or failing that insert a dummy background step in between the two.
Cheers
Mike
