Well I meant data environment not DataEnvironment. Yes, I hear what your saying. I guess I would feel better if after the total 'rough draft' of the app is done to go back & do RI, etc. Right now, in my case, things always change. Mostly by customer design & partly from creeping up the learning curve.

I guess the real way is to get 100% specs from the cust on my next app & then look at RI & stuff. The problem is; will we ever get 100% specs from a customer when we need them?

Thanks
