I have a large project where I went through all of the windows and locked the controls. I re-loaded the project this evening and only 4 of the windows remembered that the controls were locked. And of those 4 windows, all of the controls have a Top of zero. I now have to re-design the windows. :(

It's a vcp project right ?

Yes, I just spent about 4 hours rebuilding the windows. Now it's time for bed.


Christian did find time to send me an invoice between the four hours rebuilding those windows and his bed time. "Ouchie" is an appropriate subject for this thread! Wish I could go to bed, but now looks like I need to do some additional billing myself to compensate. This is not my preferred way to "stimulate the economy."

All in good fun with a smile...

Well that's between you and him and has nothing really to do with the RB bug. He is using version control isn't he? He did tag his version control before he made a global change like this? I bet you it would have been way cheaper to role back to the previous version and re-do any code changes. I would actually wonder about the time spent going through a project to apply the lock property in the first place. You likely paid for that too.

I need to publicly apologize for this post. I questioned the professionalism of Christian and Allan which I have no right or experience to do. In commenting on Christian billing for work done to recover from an RB issue, I totally discounted the numerous times my own staff have spent project time doing the same thing. I just didn't see a "bill" since they are all salaried employees. I am truly sorry for any issues this may have caused Christian or Allan.

Chris
