That was my first suggestion, that we create a parallel set of tables, but this was not acceptable to them. I will have a meeting tomorrow and if no alternatives are agreed on, other than using my tables, I will advise them that the maintenance contract will be finished if they modify the contents or structure of any tables. Thanks for your input!

He tells me that he will need to write to the tables that belong to my system and has asked me if thats OK. I feel that if he starts to modify the contents and/or structure of 'my' tables, I can no longer be responsible for the integrity of the data in my system. I need to give him my answer and wonder if anyone has experience to share on this subject. I'm thinking that I will not allow this and will suggest that if he wants, I can give him a quote on the source files for my system and he can take over the maintenance. Any ideas or suggestions will be very welcome. TIA > Why not expose a view to him for data? Have him make his own tables outside of your app. [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
