I'm inferring from the use of Access 2007 that this is a customer with champagne tastes and a beer budget.
One of my favorite - and most effective lines to clients borders on a mantra: "Anything is possible given enough time and money." Followed closely by "How bad do you want it and what are you willing to pay to get it?" Next step: Demonstrate the hurdles for each approach. One is the easiest thing in the world, the other not so much, and is he willing to spring for a specialist to build this monster? Who knows... maybe it *is* possible and you aren't the right guy for the job. Give the client the client the service of laying your cards on the table and letting him decide how to proceed. Deal straight with the guy and oftentimes thats worth something to them. Its certainly worked out in my favor many times. -- --m@Robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346215 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
