<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...I run into this all the time as an
independent ...I get called in to fix other people's mistakes ...and they're
always convinced it only a "small" problem to fix it ...I usually start by
using the FMS Analyzer to get a pretty good breakdown of all the things
that need immediate attention ...FMS does a pretty thorough job of walking
the code and identifying all the types of problems you mentioned ...saves a
tremendous amount of time and the report it produces is pretty damning
evidence to back up your position with ...HTH :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately, no choice about it. I
think I will just have to break it down into some kind of report, letting
her know (she didn't hire the intern - that was done by her "client" - I
am a subcontractor to a contractor to a Federal agency) exactly where the
database stands and what needs to be done. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are you in a position to say no? Or, are
you in a position to charge a ton of money for it? Putting yourself into
the fire because someone on their end made a bad hiring decision isn't a
great idea -- if you've got a choice about it. </FONT></DIV>
