So for billing purposes, you could take your coding estimate of hours and triple it to get the bill you should charge, assuming equal rate across all. For ISVs like myself, it's all the same rate, but perhaps in larger shops, it's a different rate since different folks are doing the different aspects of the work. I like that formula...thanks, Steve! _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
