[AccessD] OT Got it: Was... Rate for first time

Successful apps are doomed to be rewritten. Failed apps simply die.

-- Fuller's Third Law 

Congratulations on your success, and who among us has not had that same
thought? "I --- the godlike being that I am -- wrote this shit!?

Fuller's Fourth Law:

Experts fail 100 times as often as the sum of failures by novices,
intermediates and "power users".

1998 was my first Access project as well.  As fate would have it, I'm back
with that same client revamping/rewriting a signifigant portion of this
system - mainly because someone else came behind me to 'improve' it and
didn't finish the job.

As I go through the spaghetti code and disasterous form design I keep
thinking "who PROGRAMMED this mess!?!?"

Then I realize it was me (heh).

I wonder - 5 years from now will I return to this same client and think the
same thing??
