What stupid thing have you done today? I ask because I just did something stupid that I want to share... and also because I want to hear stories of other people's "duh" moments so I can know I'm not alone:rofl:

A woman sent me an email asking how to run a data processing application I wrote a while ago. I didn't have anything written down anywhere, so I looked at the program and wrote some procedures and sent them to her. About 5 minutes later I was tooling around with the program and clicked on the Help menu bar. That's when I saw a bright, shiny button called "Instructions."

When I clicked on it, it brought up the entire procedures for using the program:doh:

hah:) Yah just this week I was almost all of the way through writing a module that would see if the data validation criteria of an excel range had been met when I discovered that the "Value" property of the data validation object tells you that with a simple true false.

(And if you think that was a small amount of code, just go try to recreate that particular wheel for all possible types of validation, your lines of code will be in 3 digits.)

:doh:
