Worse than that, some customer calls you up about some code that you wrote 3 years ago andd complains it doesn't work, and expect you to fix it under 'warranty'.Originally Posted by Ken Puls
RE this point. Bob was just pointing out that the method John used will not work in 2007. It will still work fine in this case. The reason though, is just to get us in the habit of using methods that will work now and forward. There's nothing worse than upgrading to a new version, and finding out that the code broke. Just imagine trying to explain all of this to someone in a help forum 3 years from now.John's code will be a one timer, but it's still good practice to think of the future anyway.
