    {
    eAccessPrevilage = "Administrator";
    }

      Well, every time I think about debugging my wife, I find out she had me figured out long before. What would I change? Nothing -- the differences are great. But I sure could use a decent User's Manual!

        Fix? Alot guys would benefit just from knowing the state of the application, rather than guessing... ;P

            I have to say from the few girls I know, they expect their guy to do all their unit testing and then get mad when they fail the unit test. Women, do your own unit testing!

            Using COTS tools or by hand? Either way is fine with me.

                I would do something about their RAM. They just don't seem to forget anything. They'll bring up things that occurred years ago as if it happened yesterday with 100% accurate recall. Kind of funny that the women with the most silicon don't necessarily seem to be prone to this memory problem (from what I've observed). They can't remember what happened yesterday!

                  Debugging != Fixing. Whenever something unexpected or non-ideal happened I couldn't understand, I'd try to find some level of reproducibility, set appropriate breakpoints in the debugger, and figure out what makes it all work! Or maybe I'd just add a single line at the beginning: On Error Resume Next

                          That's the rule #1 with women; when we kvetch at you about something we just want to kvetch. We are not looking for your solution on how to fix the problem. Just hear us out and follow up with "I told you that beatch was crazy!" (Chris Rock fans will get this one.)

                          Should come with a user manual. A list of translations would be handy.

                            Remove all static, public, and steady-state variables. "Would you like to ..." would never again be answered with "we just got done ..."
