Our customers ask us how we can develop better software with less programmers than our competitors, and I say - because we only let one guy work on one product, at least until it is pretty mature, when bug fixes are allowed by newer people (scary thought, isn't it?) But we follow some strict, commonsense standards that are published and explained to everyone, and new people have to work under the oversight of an experienced programmer until the quality of the code and comments is known, along with their embrasure of the standards. Of course, you have to have pretty good programmers to do this. I 've written a number of VB programs that go over ten thousand lines (that seems like a lot to me).Our AS/400 side is all written by one person (the best in town, at least), who is happy to tell me 'no you can't do it THAT way.' God bless him. Brad Jensen Elstore.com home of the Niagra - I mean Niagara CD Recorder for the AS/400
