[AccessD] I told you of this one before.....and now another

The first one was that client who balked at my $80k estimate for the
shipping CRM system rewrite.originally done in VB, Access97.

Well, I checked back with the guy at the client company with whom I
collaborated with to create the add-on needed to support a new service.

It appears the Dot-net development has stopped, the system never got
released, and this is likely going to litigation.

The client has paid about $180,000 to date and has refused to pay any more
invoices from the consulting firm.

It has been 2 years in development.

Interestingly, part of the problem appears to be the fact that "this guy"
was not at all involved in the rewrite specifications.

Some other managers took over that task and it appears they were
flip-flopping on the specs and functionality.

So this is now a case of BOTH SIDE BEING RESPONSIBLE for the overrun.

However, NEITHER ONE sees it that way.

Does this sound familiar to anyone ?
