Yes, I have run across this many times. I have worked on many projects where
customers could not get help from the original developer of the application.
I am working on a current project where the developer gave the customer a
..mde file. The customer has several problems with the application and the
developer wants an arm and a leg for the original .mdb file. I am recreating
the entire application for less than half the cost of the original .mdb file
and will give the customer a .mdb file in case he wants to make
modifications any time in the future. All my work carries a sixty day
guarantee for the customer to test drive my work. Within the sixty days, I
fix any problems the customer finds (very rare) and make any modifications
the customer wants.

I am amazed at the presumptious and totally self-righteous attitude with
which my last reply was responded to. Facebook has a facility to block a user
who is not wanted, maybe MS should look into placing a similar function in
DGH. But then again characters like $teve will find a way around it.

I thought I wrote this already but I guess not.

The closest I've ever come is that if you have the simple situation whihc
show only line authority, and everyone has one and only one boss, then you
can sort of do this with reports and sub-reports and sub-sub-reports

Otherwise for straight drawing of such, I like AutoSketch (which is like
Autocad lite lite) More precise and predicable that Visio, but Vision also
has it's advantages.
