The most annoying thing is when they keep saying "but why can't you make
it work the same way?", when it doesn't really work at all!!

	Couple of years ago I did an overhaul of a major system.
Absolute PITA, nightmare. Worst work I ever said yes to.
	Never again!

		...I run into this all the time as an independent ...I
get called in to fix other people's mistakes ...and they're always
convinced it only a "small" problem to fix it ...I usually start by
using the FMS Analyzer to get a pretty good breakdown of all the things
that need immediate attention ...FMS does a pretty thorough job of
walking the code and identifying all the types of problems you mentioned
...saves a tremendous amount of time and the report it produces is
pretty damning evidence to back up your position with ...HTH :)

regardless of his birth, his shining golden opportunity -- to every man
his right to live, to work, to be himself, to become whatever his
manhood and his vision can combine to make him -- this, seeker, is the
promise of America.

			Unfortunately, no choice about it.  I think I
will just have to break it down into some kind of report, letting her
know (she didn't hire the intern - that was done by her "client" - I am
a subcontractor to a contractor to a Federal agency) exactly where the
database stands and what needs to be done.

				Are you in a position to say no? Or, are
you in a position to charge a ton of money for it? Putting yourself into
the fire because someone on their end made a bad hiring decision isn't a
great idea -- if you've got a choice about it.

				Boy, does that have me laughing and
crying right now.
				I have just been given a database that
was developed by a summer intern who had absolutely no experience with
Access before he started this project.  There is no documentation,
except for some sheet laying out of schedule of when milestones were to
be met.
