Vern,
I don't do a whole lot of end user support these days so it's easier for me to speak in absolutes but I do admit there's times when a programmer has had to go in to fix a few items. A good example might be an order locked flag in a file that did not get cleared when the session ended abnormally.
But willy-nilly use of UPDDTA and stuff has been used in the past too. For fraudulent reasons.
