 From my experience that is true for 90% of all software projects. Only 
documentation ranks lower. But using every spanking new unproven technology 
(especially in Microsoft only shops) ranks very high. And some things just 
don't want to go away. Yesterday my former employer asked me a question about 
a DCOM based client/server app that we made years ago. DCOM sucks!

But back to the original issue, while radical, but how plausible would it be 
to ditch that code and write new? As long as you know what needs to go where 
in the database replacing that portion could be done. It may even be faster 
than to figure out what the old code does, why it is broken, and how to fix it.
