The worst think about office

It's when you have to fix someone else's access database, I've lost count of the number of hours trawling through uncommented code that references queries named after pet dogs and other databases hidden on the network that no one knew about, all with zero documentation except "Put data here and press button". Don't even get me started on a button to VBA to a macro script to run a few VBA procedures with helpful names like proc_22, Proc_2 in no particular order and all the common sense attributed to attempting to herd cats. The problem in the end was two tables unhelpfully named as suplis supcod not having a new supplier entered which really should have been in the documentation.
