Yeah, it's something you can only talk about if you have a doll you can use to identify what hurts.

Awesome. You can do all kinds of fun stuff.  And, it's easy because you can record half of it usually.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Did you get therapy for this? You should write a blog about your painful experience, and other snowflakes can follow you.

Most doctors shake their head, and apologize for not being able to help me "because the hurt goes too deep".

I'm sensing a pattern here...does JSOP dislike VB? 
Variety is the spice of life! Yesterday for me was a mix of VB.Net, VBS, C#, JavaScript and CSS and I feel fine.

It's the habanero chili of programming,
not the very hottest (the carolina reaper), but not far off
can be taken taken in small doses to excite the palette (or to show off)
but in large quantities will incinerate your mouth going in and basically de-ring you coming out.

It's VBA that's the problem, because it's a watered-down perversion of his beloved!
Please, cheer him up by sending all your questions about VB (NOT VBA!) to him!

As I always say, it's not the tool that is used that's the problem, it's usually the tool that uses it.

That the clever method you made, isn't conforming with the MSDN documentation and therefore might be dependent on a bug.
What do you do?
- Fix the (at the moment nonexistent) problem despite taking several days, just to make sure a nasty bug doesn't appear whenever MS changes their method, which they might never do.
- Or do you add a comment to the method in question stating what the fix is if it's ever needed.
- Other.

The answer would depending on many things like:
- If MS fixes their bug, would our bug immediately be visible, and if so, how severe would its impact be?
- Would it affect the core functionality of whatever product/system it's part of?
- Would it lead to revenue loss?
- Would this have a domino effect of some sort?
- How difficult is it to fix the bug at our end?
No matter what, I'd most certainly log it as a defect so that it could be tracked formally. And based on the answers to the questions above, the bug might have an appropriate priority anywhere from "Sometime before Christmas" to "MUST BE DONE YESTERDAY!"
All said, if the said code could be easily re-written or a fix could be made available relatively painlessly, I'd fix it up without putting it off.

You can't deploy code to production that requires special instructions. "In case of fire, pull handle, kiss ass goodbye".
I would try to use another way, if possible.

Are you by any chance working as a consultant?

Nope - If I were, I wouldn't do it that way. As a consultant you have to bill as many hours as humanly possible so in that case, I would definitely investigate the problem... Slowly... Very slowly...

So you're implementing methods before reading the documentation?
How do you fully know how/when/what it does and may not do then?
At least a skim of the headings/parameters/return/exceptions is worthwhile, MSDN docs are not bad and they will note special info in there as well.
I mean, if you find a strange substance do you taste it before checking the label to see if its poisonous?
"Mmmm looks like cookies, yum <crunch crunch="">, wonder what they are called ... Rat-X!!! Yikes!!!"
