This reminds me of a situation that I was put in back when i was interning. It was the summer after my Junior year, and I was interning with a small company. Only working 20 hours a week, doing simple HTML and learning this new language called "Cold Fusion". A novice in every way, shape and form. Anyway, my boss is on a conference call with a representative from some company called "J&J". My boss tells this woman that he will have his "EDI expert" give her a call to begin discussions for setting up Electronic Data exchanges between "J&J" and us. It was only after he hung up that I found out two things: 1) "J&J" is none other than Johnson and Johnson and 2) *I* was our "EDI expert" When I finally got up the nerve to call J&J's EDI representative, I told her the truth....she was great and just laughed that it wasn't the first time she'd dealt with a "novice expert" from a small company. -- Her CD changer is full of singers who are mad at their cat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:239920 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
