Incorrect Programming...Developers Please Read.
If you were working on a project from scratch and the users asked for something in a certain way, which was absolutely stupid and would make programming it an absolute nightmre, what would you do?
Would you tell them are being silly and show them a better wya of doing it.
What would you do if they INSISTED on what they have asked for, but it will cause X many problems trying to write it and make your app almost impossible to easily maintain it???
Any tips?
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
It's all gone very pear shaped!!!
Project is almost at completion phase and the spec isn't very details to say the least!
The way forms have been designed and set up and the way the logic works in the background, what the can and can't do, which I've just been told about, makes it a nightmare to code.
My biscuit is all soggy...
One of the problems is that I have to use an MDI form, when the project is basically not designed to use one! This is causing all sorts of problems. I can't lock things modaly and therefore have to do nasty ****ty coding to work round this!!!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
*sigh*
Sorry.

Whoa, you mean the users are telling you how to program, as in
use a modal form?
I thought you were getting things like "We need a screen that keeps track
of what we had to eat today, and tie it into email."
man, that's a bad week.
Fried egg sandwich with skunk please!
These are not itelligent users.
I think a past programmer has told them what they can have, which was wrong, and they stuck to that. I don't have any interaction with them, which is really annoying as I can't discuss things with them. I have to go via 2-3 people which is why it's so annoying.
I am dealing with other programmers who load everythhing from the database into class modules and forms when the app starts, which takes 5 minutes. Then when they click on a menu it just shows the form as it's already in memory. When they click close, it just hides the form. If another user updates a record in the database noone else will see the effect unless they close down the entire app and reload it!!! I have just pointed this out and he said "Oh didn't think of that!". For fcuks sake!!! He did it that way coz it took about 1.5 seconds to load each form when a user wanted to see it. *sigh*

It's not a teddy bear. It's a badger!
Badgers are comical, espescially when you see them attempt to role a joint :D
It's about time someone invaded the moon...
Right...5pm! Time to go home and do what my badger can't ;)
