Really Bad Code
Jan. 15th, 2009 12:06 pmSo I'm rewritting an application leftover from the previous consultant. I know I've talked about this before, but this one is really bad.

Well I was making pretty good progress today until I used the wrong function and instead of inserting a block of data into a workbook page I deleted and replaced the entire thing. Oops, indeed. Luckily I have a not terribly old backup and most of the work of the last week has been planning or working in a different file. Yes, I have to recreate a lot of the tedious bits that I did yesterday, but at least I know what and where to rebuild and I won't have to spend as much time on it.
I also have a nice new backup in no less than two places.

Stupid Microsoft Tricks
Dec. 19th, 2007 09:54 amI am working on a project to convert the prior programmer's horrible Excel "database" spaghetti code application into something that can actually be updated and maintained.
