If I am to compare, how would you count code lines in an excel file, an access db and a word doc?

I use wc -l to count those. Not very accurate since it does not reflect code changes during debugging, a lot of stuff got rewritten few times over. 250k over 4 years gives around 200 lines per day

[ThomasSoerensen]

Thirty five.

when do you allow yourself to count them?

On signed contract?
On full payment?

I wish to compete in your counting but for that I need to know how you count.

Thirty five.

I'm sure it's against fire regulations to have that many people living in a bedsit.

the squirrels can type fast

[AtW]

when do you allow yourself to count them?

I count them automatically during regular backups, just checked current count is actually 285k+ - feels like 1 mln

And you should see how quickly they eat (already shelled) wallnuts!

I meant how do you count customers.

I meant how do you count customers.

select count(distinct customerid),count(*) from invoices

[ThomasSoerensen]

select count(distinct customerid),count(*) from invoices

so you count them when you have sent them an invoice.

hm - in that case I can only count to 1. But i will get there - just you wait and see

so you count them when you have sent them an invoice.

In this case invoice is only created when the payment is made - it is for the customer to print it out etc.
