...that you can change your computer's clock using Excel or other Office applications? And that this can happen accidentally because you accidentally typed "time" instead of "time_trim" in a VBA module? :mad:

WHY THE HELL WOULD I EVEN WANT TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM CLOCK FROM WITHIN AN OFFICE APPLICATION?? :mad:

P.S. VBA could have easily caught the error if hadn't been too braindead to notice that my time_trim function didn't have a return value. :rolleyes:

You expect Microsoft to do your code validation for you? Pssh. Leave that for companies that can't microcharge you to death.

Just be happy that it didn't cause Outlook to send a spam email to everyone in your Outlook directory and personal folder.

It could be a lot worse than spam if it pulled an e-mail from my personal folder! :eek:
