  The most annoying thing is when they keep saying "but why can't you make it work the same way?", when it doesn't really work at all!!

    Couple of years ago I did an overhaul of a major system. Absolute PITA, nightmare. Worst work I ever said yes to.
    Never again!

      ...I run into this all the time as an independent ...I get called in to fix other people's mistakes ...and 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 mentioned ...saves a tremendous amount of time and the report it produces is pretty damning evidence to back up your position with ...HTH :)

        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.
