>That's funny (sad), writing a report writer in Delphi. Reminds me of the "customer portal" web site I was brought in to fix in the early 00's, designed by the owner's relative. He used Access over a clogged internal T-1 to hit a FoxPro database. When I fixed it (SEEK is your friend), they accused me of cheating. I had them give me other customers to look up in order to convince them. Beware of relatives and friends of the owner. I'm sure there's a book to be written on that one, just using stories from UT users.


Happens sometimes. My usual strategy is to offer betting large sums of money on the results of those tests with other customers:
might give you the option to clear out with a large cheque or keep them tied and friendly to you if you want to stay there ;-))
