objConn.Open 'opens objConnHe also had a habit of copying and pasting secions of code instead of using a loop or recursive function. We used to take the mick from him constantly. :-O If I had a better memory I would remember more. -

I have to look up something in a co-worker's C# file. The lines are commented, but... some comments don't tell me anything :omg:
int anz,i; // used in various places... ... summe.FuvBeginnDatum = fuv.FuvBeginnDatum; // Must be the same! summe.VsuGuelBeg = fuv.FuvBeginnDatum; // Must be the same! ... summe.GtEintraege[0].GtGuelBeg = fuv.FuvBeginnDatum; // Must be like that!Now I'm going phone the author and let him explain why what must be like what... and hope he still knows :laugh: Lesson of the day: Never tell a programmer "you hav to comment your code". Tell him "you have to comment what your code does". :-DCorinna John wrote: // Must be like that! :laugh: :laugh: :~
