Dear Boss,
Here's my evaluation of my predecessors application: it blows.
To turn this into a viable application I will have to discard everything
that's there and start anew. Unfortunately, since you've already been using
it, I will not only have to start from scratch, but will have to figure out
how to get the data you've already put in, into the new application.
This project I suspect will take X months. I believe the process could be
sped up by purchasing me a Ferrari and a beachside bungalow in (insert
country here.) With these items I should be able to work without
distractions and have a quality product for you.
Thanks
Mike

I have been asked by my boss to evaluate one of my predecessors
applications. The application is more than 3 Gig on disk, 250+ tables in
MS SQL. I have yet to run into a page that names the fields in a select
statement all Select * and multiple recordset objects per page. Of course
with that much code I haven't seen all pages yet. No variable
declaration, no comments one page I found had "ScriptTimeout=30000." FRAMES, FRAMES,
FRAMES one page has 14 NO SH**.
I am expected to give a timeline stating how long it will take me and one
other developer to turn this into a viable application. The only answer I
can come up with is A REAL LONG TIME!
Mike
