This is the update. The system was delivered in 2001. Not my company, I helped to program and was on site. Since then, the program worked so well in the Pittsburgh office, they hired some hack to T1 it to all locations. Of course the sucker is going to fail, it was meant to serve three people. And the remotes didn't even split the front end from the back end. And the old manager that I worked with is gone and I have some new young nimrod to deal with. I told him I did not have to deal with him at all. I am brewing on it. This is essentially an upgrade to the system. Once I get my new computer this week and my cable modem line back up, I am going to see what is going on and offer to upgrade it for a price, to be signed on by Mr. MBA's manager. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 12:43 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] Time for More Legal Discussion - Oh Boy Hi Karen: My thought on the subject is that the buyer-beware. It is not MS's fault that the client lost data, it is the fault of the programmer who failed to design the requested product properly. On the other hand it is the client fault for not testing or notifying the developer when the application was failing. I think the client is simply out of luck now; just too late to get any conpensation.

It has cost this one client, he claims, $3000 in lost revenue and he wants the payment for the system refunded plus damages. The user never notified said programmer that there was a problem even though they have been using it for a good six months. -- 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
