There are a couple of problems when you don't read off the book.
1) You must know a lot of about the application to properly offer an advice. If we are dealing with SQL Server, then it is easy. I can tell the user to dump the database to a flat file and back this up. I have dealt with Paradox a long time ago but is not conversant with its current capabilities, so I cannot tell him to back it up as a flat file or dump it to a flat file and back this up. Even if I offer him these two methods, can I be sure that they will work when he needs to restore the database?
2) You can advice the user how to get around an unsupported configuration, but at the end of the day, are you going to stand beside him and face the boss when things go wrong?
It is easy to offer advice without having to face the consequences.
