took me about five seconds to see the error. maybe I've stumbled into most shit already. Larswad

not to mention the possibility of some adding a big field to the end of the table (blob for instance) and your code suddenly grinding to a halt. I won't use select * even if i want every field as you have no idea what changes may come later Russ

Not yet, waiting to hear back from the manufacturer.

Wait a second! This is a form to post "Coding Horrors". Just because he keeps looking to the same person (and that person is unbelievably bad) does not make him a person who takes pride in "bashing" others. Posting bad code is the point of this forum. Myself, I've enjoyed looking at these code examples for exactly the reason I am browsing this board -- to shake my head in disbelief.

nice problem it is not big problem i have a great solution for this problem. use Entry exit point when it call another web service.when it'll call load balance service then use Exit point and here save all information regards to the session. when it connect previous one then use entry point here invoke all information regards to the session. useing above idea where the session started.it'll save on user M/c then we dont need to maintain session in server end.

The code is optimized for "readability" and "maintability", so everybody understands what is going on. Maybe the compiler does the rest of the work via detecting the first four @sql string statements are constants, and make one string of them.:cool: The sql varchar(8000) seems to be a little to big. But better too big than to short. X| And a clever compiler knows that the constants strings and 2000 are less than 8000. I dont know how clever a compiler of "today" is. :confused: Greetings from Germany

The question is, why would you want to imperatively set focus on a potentially disabled control? It's like, are you giving a user a listbox that lists all of the controls on the form and when they select one, you set focus to it? I mean I could see how that's useful...like if you have 20 thousand controls on the form. But here's the real question...Why would you want to make a disabled control enabled? Maybe it was a handler for a checkbox and when the user checks the box, it enables a previously disabled control and sets the focus so the user...can...oh wait, it disables the control before the user can do anything.:doh: WTF?:confused:

[start quote, since there seems to be no button to automatically quote, at least not in Opera.... nor a preview button] > With biggies and for enterprises who need to have accounts separately for every purpose like 'Expense', 'Payroll' etc and for each department, this might befit. But for guys like me who just maintain about the Monthly Minimum Balance and rarely when there is some fund, just thinking of saving for the rainy day to put it into a Fixed Deposit and with a specific clause in Term Deposit like 'Credit Interest to Savings Account' and all other KYC (Know Your Custoemr) guidelines as applicable from the savings account, I think this would be like a laughing stock. Isn't it? [end quote...] I think it would be a real laughing stock to have a different database/system design for "biggies" and "small" customers. Don't you think so? If they have to implement the more general and complex design for some customers, then it makes sense that they would use it for all customers. To maintain two totally different systems would be a total disaster and a waste of effort. Oisín

Welcome to the club of many hundreds of thousands of developers who share the same sentiments about VB. Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

So there's no one in MY company but me;) But i've seen a fair share of these horrors myself, so yes, you are right in the sense that outsourcing is often unreliable, but so is hiring of local programmers of equal "quality".:sigh: The solution IMHO is to have a decent interview procedure and not rely so much on credentials, as on actual knowledge.
