Bit of a technical question but opinion is great

If in doubt, code in vague complexities that only you understand and then don't document them or even comment the code, other than that you built it and your email address so that you'll get repeat business.

Must be similar to the guy that managed to last 25 years contracting here.

A totally gilt edged job.

I believe they managed to get him out and 2 months later he was back

What's the source of your copy of data and what's the target?

What is the master of the data going to be?

Unless you have a mechanism to align changes made in any system then there isn't a lot of point doing the work at all.

The registry approach is OK but I always prefer a master hub single maintenance approach if possible. Lock down any functionality that allows changes elsewhere.

Whichever you go for, you're doomed.

Big picture thinking? YMMS

Think only about the bit of work that you've been brought in for. It leads to disjointed development and allows you to upsell at a later date.

did all of that when I migrated the world off Dynamics. We pressed a button & waited normally chatting & drinking tea with the PM. Migration was done on a Friday night.

This system however is not mine. Fewer users, fewer opportunities & customers and its taken 6 people so far.

Ah, well that's different. You'll need to do the job properly. Shame.
