LOL - I know what you mean. Happens a lot. I have saved clients hundreds of hours of "dinking around" time just from being on site and seeing that they were doing something for hours that should take minutes. I show them the way they should do it and they do. I don't know anyone that wants to do something the hard way. But alas, its all undocumented savings and I doubt too many people really appreciate how much its worth. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tony Septav Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 1:36 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] freelancing job sites Hey Susan Getting in kind of late on this thread. One thing I had to laugh at and at the same time bite my tongue with. I have always been friendly with my clients. What would amaze me was when we would just be blowing the breeze, and a client's employee would tell me they had just spent the last day or days trying to do something new in EXCEL or ACCESS and getting paid for sitting there doing so, and I keep thinking "Hey I wish somebody would pay me to do the same thing". -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 11:44 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] freelancing job sites LOL Amen, Sister!!
