They're not frequent, but I get them... at the place where I work now the one that stands out in my mind was the inventory builder, a small application we use internally for entering data to generate visual maps of the condo buildings at our project sites. It's mostly javascript. Before I got here it was apparently a pretty arduous process, now it's pretty easy. That and fixing the ActivScan control -- funny that got me such a big thank you from my boss... At my first job with MCI/Worldcom their "mission critical" worfklow app just broke suddenly with no explanation after I'd been there a couple weeks. 2 weeks later they had a new from-scratch version (this was my first experience with CF 3 and I wasn't able to diagnose the existing app). I got a number of people who used the app regularly called in to the office for something else and thanked me for it while they were on the phone just because they happened to get me on the phone. And you know, like Ken Fergusson was saying recently, the big reason for the thank-you's was something really simple... I matched their previous entries (name of manager, name of department, phone number, manager's phone number, etc.) with their email address in the form, so when they went to the form most of their contact and personel-related info was pre-filled. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:163632 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
