<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...I run into this all the time as an

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

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
