Just tell your boss you didn't say the hour would be made up of consecutive minutes. [1]
Cheers, -BrettSh [1] A line that was used on me when Windows Architect told me I'd be able to solve my global sync object naming problem within a "few hours". A couple days of issues later, and after he spent 30 minutes trying to debug what was going on on a kd with me, I said, "So 3 hours, eh?", He responds, "I didn't say they'd be consecutive hours." :) On Thu, 14 Sep 2006, joe wrote: > Yep, if vbscript you want the XML versions... > > You should be able to do this in an hour....
