I have found that I get done in half the time asked (usually) if I am the only one involved in the project. However, for every person that gets involved (even just to comment on fonts), I can easily multiply the time of development by 150% to 200%! <grin> Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 12:31 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: Re: [AccessD] Re: Determining Time for Project Bryan, Non-developers never understand why it takes so long. They figure if they throw a few more people at it or leave out a few things, you can do it in a week ... Or a month ... Or 90 days ... Or whatever. I remember telling a former employer that the major system they had been assured by IT could be in place in 6 months would take at least 18, if ever. I was NOT popular, but guess what? <VBG> Charlotte -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Carbonnell [mailto:carbonnb at sympatico.ca] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 10:07 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: Re: [AccessD] Re: Determining Time for Project > From: "Martin Reid" <mwp.reid at qub.ac.uk> > http://c85.cemi.rssi.ru/access/Books/A97ExSol/contents.htm > > Dont know how legal this is re copyright etc but its on the web Thanks Martin. I found this as well. And thanks to everyone who has answered. I appreciate your answers. My boss didn't appreciate *MY* answer on the time it would take, but that's a different story :) -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca Unfortunately common sense isn't so common! -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
