Jacques, Yes the client is always right, but that doesn't mean that we do not try to change their perception if what they want will create a poor system. We can also walk away from the project if we cannot agree. Please don't think that I am inflexible, quite the contrary. Anyway, I consider myself enlightened as to the possible uses of barcodes and tags, so I am pleased that I asked the question.
I hope I am back on level ground again ;o) (Reference to digging holes) Kind regards, Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Jacques Le Roux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 December 2006 16:55 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: GIF or PNG Products BarCodes In France we have a saying : "Le client a toujours raison !"
