We have old legacy programs that are still in use. Sometimes we get the awesome job to do some maintenance work on these old programs.

I was submitted a half written program in c#, done with the aid of drag and drop controls and functions by a complete chop. So after 3 or 4 people had tried to fix it, I got the job and found this at the imports sections of one of the classes.
'Code is haunted don't bother.
try changing databases from Access to SQL Compact 3.5, and that's what you'd get

@ rusty and RRF, I replaced the column names with a * in the interest of saving my own behind- same as I replaced the actual table name with [tablename]
