[AccessD] Summer Intern Software:(

If your stuck with a summer intern solution, you have TWO important things
to do:

1.  Make sure your name is in no way stored anywhere in that application.
2.  Explain that the buyer is getting a temporary fix to buy time until it
can be done right.  That is sometimes the right decision to make for cash
flow reasons, but everyone's got to be clear about it.

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.
