Absolutely - I would hope the company would give me some advance warning before moving the backend.Can't bollix up what you can't see - but can't constructively work with it either.
Then again, I talked them out of it, but I got an E-mail from our Citrix team last Wednesday that they wanted to drop Outlook Classic and go to Outlook web app and had a test environment ready to start testing last Monday and go live week after next.
Out database (and others) probably has 400 calls to Outlook classic that I would have had to modify to SMTP (if I could find the E-mail server location), or DoCmd.SendObject (and figure out WHICH 256-characters I wanted in the E-mail).
(I wouldn't have had to modify 400 locations, but I would have to do something different for that team. (And worse, they only wanted to do it for 6 months and then they were going to Outlook 365 which we run outside of Citrix, so my workaround would no longer be needed after that).
Luckily, I was able to convince them to keep both classic Outlook and Outlook Web.
