OK. Agreed with the naming, but the point was I had this all done, with all the buttons I could think of PLUS pretty colors, then all of sudden, my boss wanted me to do it over again (I was about two weeks to a completed project that I was working on for about a year, told them as well too). Well, I did, but he wanted to do it in his way. Meaning, to start over, so I added the eight buttons and immediately, he wanted those off and only 4 of the buttons, so I did... then later, he said "Well, we need another button" (which I had in there in the first place). Furthermore, I corperated and added it and named it 'Locate', but to keep his pride (as he knew and saw what I had beforehand), he wanted to called it 'Find' (really, it's the same thing, so why even bother to make a big deal between the name 'Locate' vs 'Find').

Another situation is I did the Edit programming and then he asked to change it to his liking, so I did. Then, he EMAILED back to me (can not boldly face me?) saying, "I am afraid that I did not think though the current Edit button process well enough. If you have a better idea, let me know. Here is my idea. I think that you should add a "Find" button on the button bar and restore "Edit" to its original function." (exact quoted).

I still need to throw up little more... he requested to have the signature image form finished. Did that. THEN, he asked me how to add or change the image, I explained and he WANTED those in buttons, so I did that (quite simple settings). THEN, he said, "Take those out, it is too complicate." What? There were only three buttons and one of those merely does:
APPEND GENERAL person.signature FROM (m.lcLogo)
, can't be any more simplier than that? The three buttons are labeled as: Add/Edit, Clear/Delete, Exit, was that English enough?

Instead of arguing with them, I just copy what he wants out and save it in another place, then when he asks for it again, I just copy/paste it over again.

So, I got no time to study, but to play with our boys and girls. As I am repeating what I said here, so others, just ignore it by again and yes, I am handing out my resumes... So, this is my topic of 'Search Code' to search for another job lol.

>As far as labels, the app has to make sense to the end-user, so they get to specify the names and behaviors they want; it's what they pay for, at least in theory.
