In my first ever job, I was handed code by a senior Consultant untested, told it worked, he farked off and it didn't work. I worked all weekend to fix it, which he could have done in a couple of hours possibly, knowing the project and all. On the Monday, I explained what had occurred, explained if he'd not been in such a hurry to go home (Fri afternoon and he lived many miles away) and actually tested it, it wouldn't be what it was. He wouldn't accept this and we actually had to go through an internal HR investigation as I was adamant I wasn't taking the can for someone elses cock up.
He was fired, and now, ironically, works for the company whom the major project was for.
Did you not put the code in Source Safe/others? I do religiously now, so I can pull an ear file or whatever else to prove where we were, with suitable comments. Don't get burned by liars BP.Comment

My point on source control, is that if you hand it over working, then some monkey works on it, you have an audit trail of who made the changes which fooked it.
Always good to have demonstrable proof you didn't, or did, do something.
Currently working with ACOMPANY who have denied just about everything about a working application, but have been quickly slienced with emails conforming delivery, and the actual stuff you delivered, with an audit trail in SourceSafe.
Keep just about everything you can, as in todays dog eat dog IT world, everyone is looking to dick you/preserve themselves.Comment
