>A few years back at MS Cathy Pountney and I worked in the VFP lab until well after midnight (setup testing I think, Cathy?) and I recall starting that day a bit before 9 AM. I can also recall when I was doing cruise ship inventory and sales systems being up against hard deadlines (end of cruise) and putting in over 24 hours reconciling sales with inventory versus the ship's mainframe and our little Fox app.
Sounds familiar - the systems they have on most cruise ships suck. Balancing against them was nightmarish - the lack of reporting available is just stunning.
