Dean: Your input is valued very much. But I have to ask at what rate per hour can I expect conscientious efficient workmanship? I either have to pay a project manager that knows what he's doing, or a developer that has PM skills.
At this point due to all the broken stuff in the past months funds are extremely tight and I have to really count my pennies and insure correct results the first time. Preesh turned me onto a PM that I like and we are both looking at a way to skin this cat efficiently. Everyone seems to want money I can not afford so I have to cut all the corners I can. FWIW I feel that I have enough of a grasp and connections to modify the DB and normalize it without a problem. So really it will be a matter of making the app. A while ago someone (John, Charlie, and Howard know who) gave me a link to a Custom ??? that pulled in CSV's in CF and that will be a pivotal tool to work from. So its putting that CSV tool into CF code, and outputting to the tables I will have made. Maybe some SP's in the DB may be needed but the ideas for how it will work are slowly coming together. It's just a matter of reading, talking, forming, listing, writing, tweaking, looking etc till I get a grip on this. And I am. But bottom line... I HAVE TO find a way to do it for under a grand, and a grand is a REAL stretch! Robert P.

You get what you pay for. Not that I think off- shore development is bad, quite the contrary, but it requires more hands-on work from you or a project manager to get things done correctly. -dhs Dean H.
