hahaha! Love it Max - Move to Oz too. This has been my experience exactly. I once had a meeting with some bigshots from PWC or similar to review a spreadsheet tool they had designed for the company I was working with and was a bit nervous about what they had to show me - would I understand it and not look like a goose reviewing it etc. Man! I couldn't believe what sloppy work they produced, or more to the point, what they charged the company to produce it. It was full of holes and was very flakey, you know the sort of thing. "oh, don't put data in that row as it will error" that sort of nonsense. Clearly I was over delviering and undercharging!! :) :) cheers Darryl -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Friday, 20 February 2009 10:27 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Find First in an Array? Well Charlotte, I have never in my whole 30+ years of programming came across any end-user who had a clue as to what I done. I was lucky if they understood what I told them as to how it worked. Those that paid the bill always delegated to somebody down the line because "they were too important and their time was way above computers" etc, etc. The poor old delegate was lumbered with signing off what they saw. My fear used to be that other programmers would look at my code and say "what on earth is that", but then I found that it was me saying that to them Ha! Ha! Max Ps. Move to the UK - ha! Keep smiling. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: 19 February 2009 23:10 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Find First in an Array? Then you MUST be an independent developer because if someone else reviews your code, believe me, they look under the hood!

That's my motto, now. No one ever looks under the hood, and I always judge my programs from the outside. Matters not how the data got on the form as long as it happens 1) fast and 2) accurate. Spot on, Rocky.
