  1. Option explicit commented out
  2. All the databse names are revealed. I was able to download a DB using google search. Shhh!! dont tell anyone
  3. Worst naming standards eg: main1.mdb,hitsfile1.txt
  4. Worst naming convention for variables eg: zz,zz1

I can think of only one quote now

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I have never seen such a worst coding standard.

    ohh….its atrocious…i always curse the guy who coded the module before I took his place..debugging is a nightmare with these kind of codes..eats up lot of time..and a high learning curve for the ones who are new to a project..
