Re: F Specs on an OVRDBF

[pcunnane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Paul Cunnane)]

     A very good friend of mine used to describe this concept as a 
     'cardboard programmer.'  He reckoned you could use anyone -- 
     theoretically, even a cardboard cutout -- as a 'diagnostic tool' in 
     this way.  I thought it was an excellent phrase.

Laura, sometimes the simplest things are gonna stump ya. <g>
     
How many on the list have done this?  Even (especially?) the experienced 
ones.  You struggle with a programming problem - your code isn't doing what 
it's supposed to do.  You look at it over and over and over, and, finally, 
you ask your colleague to come over and look at the code.  He/she walks 
over, you start explaining line-by-line, and then it hits you square in the 
old noggin!  You look at your colleague, who hasn't said a danged thing yet, 
and you say "Thank you!"
     
It's a good reason to have imaginary friends!
