My 2 cents... A bug is something that doesn't work as agreed upon when delivered or something that was specifically spelled out in a contract beforehand and not delivered with correct functionality. A bug is not something that doesn't work according to what the client wants after the client has approved the initial functionality (6 months or 3 years later). It is also not something that stops working correctly due to an Operating System change, additional software installations (including MS updates) or an infrastructure change (such as networking issues). To be more specific, if something worked correctly upon delivery and doesn't work correctly in the future - it is not a bug. It is a failure of function due to unforeseen changes in the application's environment. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Lawrence Mrazek Jim mentioned bug fixes ... Do we have opinions on whether you charge for them or not?
