Been there, done that, myself. The amazing thing is that usually we do
manage to produce what we said we could do despite the subsequent re-think.
Isn't there a famous U.S. military quote, "The impossible just takes a
little longer."

I moved this out of the OP since we've hijacked it.
I get requests that make me cringe all the time. I just say, "Of course I
can do that!. I can make Access do anything except walk my dog. And if I can
figure out how to make it snap on the leash, I'll be able to do that, too."
Then I go back to my desk and think "How the blazes am I going to pull this
one off?!"
