Please Remind your Developers:

I just found this contact in our database.
CLMRKey = 17716589
CMRKey = 2364205
FullName = *TYPE IN CONTACT NAME*
FirstName = TYPE
MiddleName = IN CONTACT
LastName = NAME
ContactKey = NULL
When a programmer does stuff like prepopulate a text box with a user message
like "Type Something Here", then s/he *MUST* check to make sure the
textbox property does not contain the dumb default value before you post the
record to the server!
This contact has been mapped to a company, and has lots of records assigned
to it!
I will now crawl back under my rock and go fix the data...
Peace & happy computing,
Mike Labosh, MCSD

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the laugh! (Though I think you feel more like crying).
