]]> Comment on Drag & Drop Using TSM (The Separation Model) by Geoff http://www.excelisys.com/blog/2011/02/28/drag-drop-using-tsm-the-separation-model/comment-page-1/#comment-22288 Geoff Thu, 01 Dec 2011 22:22:23 +0000 http://www.excelisys.com/blog/?p=248#comment-22288 Thanks for your comment, John. That's not at all a stupid question. Yes, you can take that approach. In fact, it's actually a superior approach, because it's easier to implement and doesn't require extra fields. For best results, use local scripts that call the remote scripts, then follow up with a [Commit Records] step. Thanks for your comment, John. That’s not at all a stupid question.

I think that our clients get the best value when we bill hourly, as they only pay for the actual work that we do. There is no way that I can anticipate every need that my customer requires for a project, but with a fixed price I must do that. Thus, I have to build that into the fixed price. Besides, I have always felt that a development project is a collaborative effort between developer and customer. It is designed over time. Good article, Christo.
