Howdy, I don't work for myself at all now and I do very little Access work, but in relation to hours, I remember My Colby saying a long time ago something like this... "Come up with your number - then triple it." When I first saw that written - I thought...noooo, surely not. But I have since used it on many occasions to great effect. And in the place where I work now the programmers seem to be very optimistic about their abilities (Ruby developers seem to all be like that) I then tell 'em whatever money or time guestimate you get, triple it. Works out right almost every single time.

Happy to double it again in some instances, depending on how busy I am. Cheers Darryl
