What's your problem with Germans? There are idiots as well as geniuses and everything in between everywhere in the world... Maybe you should not care that much about weapons... :suss: Regards Thomas

Yeah, so it's long and wide, some methods have to be; what have you replaced it with?

Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

So what? As far as I've seen it, all the magic numbers are commented (not totally sure, somewhere in the middle my eyes began to bleed)... :laugh: Regards Thomas

Nothing yet, the problem is the whole application is badly design, so from my point of view it is better to build a new application from scratch.

:WTF: is your problem?? All I did was bring up something I saw in a documentery about artillery and it's reliablilty and maintainability, and you think I'm picking on the Germans? Dude, back then, during the war, they tended to over-engineer their weapons. That's all I'm saying...

Well, that code brings me back to the 90's. Typical "journeyman programmer" production. The journeyman programmer doesn't care about software engineering or improving the skills in their trade, just hack away until it works... eventually they work up their way to be project manager and leave the crap to someone else to maintain X|. Don't let it get to you too much the first 20 years are the worse :laugh:

Very well put :) I wouldn't even use the word 'programmer' in the same sense as VB, more like 'user'. VB - curse of many bad project implementations.

Hoorray! I fixed it!!!! Well when the procedure found a time over 4 hours for a day it used to skip the next records for that day :doh: I am so proud that I can not resist to post the fixed method :-D

I got a headache after the word Sub in line 1 and stopped reading. :laugh:

In fairness, a lot of bad implementations are done in other languages, I dare say there are as many shocking apps developed in C# as there are VB.Net.

Alessandro Bernardi

I agree with you ;) And what's about an italian like me? Would you like me to speak about spaghetti code? :laugh: Luckly italian people does not always write spaghetti as they eat!! :P

That depends. Did the person who maintained the code have his home address?

Well I have his home address, but I believe he's already dead, at least his brain was when he 'coded' this.

I have seen worse Russian code. Best thing to do with monster code is to use some reflections on it.
