There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Its an old saying, but it still rings true today. And it is most certainly the case usually after hours of developemnt or head scratching. The thing to do is stand back a take a different look at the problem. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
The reason I bring this up is that we have been wading through loads of development recently. I was looking at hours of development time to programme another bespoke solution. Then I came accross the right application free to customise to our requirements - courtesy of Uncle Bill. That saved months of developemnt. Thanks Bill.
