[AccessD] Friday (You Know)

Those are more along the lines of dragons than bugs, as in "I be dragon
my sorry butt in on Saturday to try and figure out what broke before
they fire me" :-)

Back in the days of DOS, Pinnacle Publications had a Clipper Advisor
magazine, for which I wrote a column called Seek And Destroy. The idea
was
that I would present some code containing a bug and challenge the reader
to
detect the bug. The first few columns were easy, but as the months
passed I
found it increasingly difficult to come up with a non-obvious bug. This
may
not be further proof of my conjecture, but it is an interesting
exercise.
Try to write a buggy routine. Nothing obvious like an a misspelled
variable
name or an array-boundary error. It's got to be subtle.
