We all try to guess what the OP is looking for. Sometimes we miss by miles,
sometimes by a few inches, and once in a while we're right on target. That's
the beauty of a newsgroup. If you see that you can add something, do it.

When I type code directly into the newsreader, I usually preface the code
with (untested) or (aircode). Any mistyping typically shows up in the IDE.
Or someone may spot the error and point it out. We are all friends here, and
everything is helpful. If you have a day where your forehead is flat from
all the head slapping, we'll still love you smile

I still have some issues with this one... it's difficult sometimes to keep
your mouth shut if you're not 100% sure of what you're saying.

Sometimes, even, you think you know what you're saying, later to find out
that you really don't!

It definately is fulfulling to give back, but be careful, or at least try
to
include disclaimers ("I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about here, but
maybe....")

Hello All

I hope this will not be deemed to be inappropriate use of these
newsgroups,
but here goes ...

Some of you will know that I have asked for, and received, a great deal
of
help over the weeks/months(/years!) from the MVPs and others on these
newsgroups. I am consistently amazed by the fact that such high quality,
often quite in-depth help is made available to people like me by people
like
... you all. Not only do us amateurs nearly always get specific answers
to
our current problems (well - our access-related problems anyway!), but
the
help we get often goes further in educating us how to use the specific
answer in more general situations. I've even got to the point where I
have
felt able to suggest some answers to others' questions (albeit only
where
the questioner is evidently even more inexperienced that I am!). Rarely
in
life have I come across anything that is so useful, and valuable (in
terms
of the degree of expertise that is offered), and free! So on behalf of
all
of us questioners, I'd like to raise a glass of nice, warm English beer,
and
say "Cheers" - you are all great!

Just felt I had to say that.

Thanks for the kind words, Leslie. I just have to agree with Arvin and
Dave...
and to warn you, "felt able to suggest some answers" is an early warning
symptom of incipient MVP-itis!
