1) If you are using multi-values or multi-subvalues please use Phrases (PH
items) in your dictionaries. It makes life much easier (and safer) for all.

2) Don't assume the date format on the system the software is installed is
*your* date format - be explicit. I have seen systems go very wrong because
dates like 11/02/xxxx were assumed to be the 2nd of November and not what
they REALLY are (the 11th of February). I am sure the converse has happened
as well....

3) When you take a backup make sure the database is quiesced - either STOP
the database or PAUSE it (dbpause/SUSPEND.FILES ON) - (take your
backup/snap/split-mirror) and then (dbresume/SUSPEND.FILES.OFF). 


Disaster stories illustrating "*don't do it*" under separate cover please:

;-'

Oh the stories we could tell...(but can't due to client confidentiality).
