It not always IF you should tell them, but HOW you tell them. I owned a consulting company for many years and have worked as a consultant for close to 20 years. I have expereiences that run the full spectrum of responses. I have had clients very thankful for the advice and have continued to work with me for years. I have other clients that get very offended and shortly there after have terminated the contract. The bottom line you should warn them, but do it tactfully and there is no guarentee that they will be grcious... Lunasys
