Hi Karen: My thought on the subject is that the buyer-beware. It is not MS's fault that the client lost data, it is the fault of the programmer who failed to design the requested product properly. On the other hand it is the client fault for not testing or notifying the developer when the application was failing. I think the client is simply out of luck now; just too late to get any conpensation.

It has cost this one client, he claims, $3000 in lost revenue and he wants the payment for the system refunded plus damages. The user never notified said programmer that there was a problem even though they have been using it for a good six months. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
