Well, it was poor code, very similar in style to jumping out of a loop in Basic with a goto. Most likely written by a beginner. The only time I comment on the quality of another company's code is if the client has hired me specifically to evaluate the code and make a recommendation. Which is a good thing, because I've seen so much crap code in software products that if I told about all of it ...well, you know. That being said, I also don't recommend products that I know contain junk code. I tried to steer people to a better solution without trashing the bad product. The worst I've ever seen was from a very large, and now very bankrupt web development company that charged a client 50K for a web site which was never completed. I was hired to evaluate the code so the client could decide whether to sue. For 50K, they had written 91 lines of code, and 12 queries. None of it worked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
