Hell no..I've never done anything with Sybase SQL Anywhere. I'm hoping that
its a simple task of setting up an ODBC datasource.
The previous developer seems to have produced a decent application from what
I can see, but it took them 10 months and 30,000 dollars to do it. BUt it
uses some very nice layout, for the code..with every query and piece of
logic in a neat, seperate file so the main file is just a series of
CFINcludes...nice use of Session variables, it even builds threads and sets
up users for a message board system when necessary...really neat.
Buuuut apparently the client was extremely dissatisfied with their level of
service.
They want to pull the application from the former developers servers where
it was hosted, and do everything themselves...which is where I come in.
I suppose charging for a days work at US100.00 * 8 =US800.00 should cover it
all.
I'll tell them the cost covers set up and getting the program up and
running, no modifications.
And when we have it up...work a cost on future modifications etc.
That sounds like the best plan..right? :)
I hate arranging pricing and cost.
*sigh*

Have you installed this set up before - especially the database? How long
did it take?
Why is the original firm not doing this - did the client and them have a
disagreement?
The phase "a little modification" is danagerous - what if the client now
expects you to fix all bugs until the app
works!! Can they show you the app working correctly on a staging server
first? :-)
Bottom line ... You need a clearer scope of work or just bill hourly.
FYI On straightforward installs we usually figure a day to iron out all
problems. This is where we have written the
code. On someone else's code who knows what will need "adjusting"?
Good luck
