[AccessD] Access Application - per unit cost

> and that is rarely what he asks for :-)
Stuart,

That's the same everywhere - "make me that I don't know what" - this is the 
"mantra" of the customers of all around the World....

...and as all around the World an experienced developer may deliver this 
"something they wish" based on vague customers' requests - the more 
experienced a developer is the least "direct contact there" is needed...

...to deliver "what customers actually need" an experienced developer should 
be able to ask "right" questions to demonstrate customers by their answers 
that what they actually need is not what they were asking for originally...
