Absolutely true. I know when I write them at work I get so frustrated when someone will eventually say &#39;Well, it would be good if it did such and such another way, but we&#39;ve got a workaround&#39;. I always tell them, give me feedback, tell me what wants fixing. It&#39;s like they&#39;re too polite! For this one I&#39;ve agreed a price for delivered product and will re-quote for enhancements.<div>

<br></div><div>If I could only get enough work, this would be a great business op. I&#39;ve taught myself Filemaker as a sideline to my &#39;official&#39; post, typesetter/artworker. So most of my databases are to do with text/image management, and pretty complex. This one&#39;s a doddle by comparison!<br>

So far I&#39;m not anticipating packing in my day job! This is just a one-off. But I have realised that I&#39;ve advised them to buy standard, and of course I&#39;m really going to need Advanced. Which costs CONSIDERABLY more than this job will earn me. Of course if I was doing lots of it that would be fine. This one is so simple it really won&#39;t need Advanced - or is that famous last words? - so maybe for now I can use the single copy to maintain their database. If any more comes my way, I&#39;ll have to bite the bullet and buy myself Advanced.</span></blockquote>
