We had a Word automation problem that required a knowledgeable expert to solve in a very short period of time, with absolutely no margin of error.
Chris Greaves of Front Runner not only solved this problem, but enhanced the efficiency of the system and dramatically reduced the complexity of the code.
The original, less expensive, programmer we had used took weeks to create the system, but hadn’t implemented all the logic or features. Chris fixed it up in three days.
There’s no substitute for 35 years of programming experience

Dear Chris,
I would like to thank you for the work you did for me last week.
As you know, I make my living creating websites. I am a one-man-shop and constantly feel like I am stretched to the limit. Consequently, I view any purchase that can make my job more efficient, and save me time, as money well spent.
Often, when it comes to buying new software, my purchasing decision is made solely on the amount of time that can be saved, on current and future projects.
Because my time is so valuable to me, I am constantly searching for more efficient methods to create websites. This usually means modifying text documents, spreadsheets or databases. A phrase that I find myself repeating over and over is “There must be a better way to do this”. That’s when I know it’s time to contact Chris Greaves.
Seriously, you should make your own personal tag line “Yes, there is a better way”.
You have an uncanny ability to look at a computer problem or challenge, see the big picture and mentally sort through the “what ifs” and “if this – then that”. I imagine this type of work requires immense patience, and you seem to have that in spades. When we were trying to solve a piece of the equation last week, I found my patience wearing thin while yours did not. And it was my project!
I’m sure there are many programmers with your computing skills. However, those skills are essentially useless to me, if they are not in the hands of someone who can look at my problems and apply them to “the big picture”.
I’m not always sure how to define your work, but in short, you solve computer related problems. I don’t believe I’ve ever come to you with a challenge and heard you say “no, this can’t be done”. Rather, you go into hibernation mode, and return with a solution. And you persist until you’ve got it right. If anyone dreams in code – it’s you.
I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful time-saving tool you created
Best Regards,
Fred Lepper

I’ve got a word document that I need to be able to score values from short yes/no or 0/1 fields. Unfortunately I need it by tomorrow morning- any way you’d be willing to help and how much?
Can you rename the macro to Calculate form or something like that? Thank you again for taking care of this so quickly. Also, any instructions you could write out or enlightenment for me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
One other thing, although eligibility is determined by a value of 1 or higher, I need the actual score to be displayed. Thanks
(later)
Thank you again very much, you saved me on this one
You should have seen the kludge of a file I was putting together with excel forms! I just need to get the updated form by 9:00 a.m. Alaska time (1:00 p.m. Eastern time) if at all possible. Thanks again!
