It makes my day when an application fails in beta testing with

customer in a parallel test because they say "Your not doing ...."

Looked through all the paperwork signed off and "....." is not stated,

ever. Sure this is a BIG point and how or why it was left on the

table is years in the past for this project. Today I have a bunch of

pissed off ladies who are expecting a system that will replace hrs of

human investigations (user query of existing system) when they fail to

tell us all the parts that we have to check.

This piece of business was signed off before I became an employee and

I have retro fitted 80% of all code to work in WS calls instead of

ODBC calls.

Come to find out that this was probably left off the plan because the

existing system does a piss poor job because of all the confusion

surrounding "probation" I did not realize how complex s simple word

was or is in our court system here.

Tomorrow I am going to play Mr. Missouri ans show me how you know

"Squiggly" is still on probation. Point to the current screens and

tell me how you ca read it and to what division he is assigned to.

>From that info I might be able to do the same in my service.
