• agree with Craig.

    Break the process down into smaller pieces first. Conquer each piece, one at a time.

    Once again thanks for your input G2 your time is much appreciated.

    Please see my reply to Craig. What do you think?

    In this kind of confusing situation, don't try to get a grasp on all of it all at once. Pick one piece, get a solid grip on that, then work out to other pieces from there.

    Yes that makes sense. But the Director of Software Development also made a point about me not losing site of the big picture. What she meant was that I should design an over all system that works which doesn't have to be perfect. I don't think she realizes how complex this project is or am I the one making a big deal out of this project?!

    I was nosing around the other day looking for some SQL scripts when I stumbled across folders containing SQL scripts and crude documentation of various failed attempts at automating the data hygiene process. Weird.... I've no idea why these were not used. Maybe these guys are scared of change!

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
