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.

My sentiments exactly! Except for the warm beer. I need to offer an
icy, cold one along with a bombastic American, "You ROCK!" type kinda
thing.

Thanks for your kind words. As an MVP for the last 9 years and a helper here
for half dozen years before that, I can say that the experience is quite
rewarding for us as well. I've watched and helped folks rise from newbies,
to in 1 case a member of the Access team at Microsoft. It is especially
rewarding when we see folks like yourself answering questions for others.
Keep up the good work, and thanks again. You made my day.

We all appreciate your kind remarks.
I as well have been more the beneficiary of the these groups. I began
coming here because I needed guidance. Over time, I found I could also
provide some answers.

Sometimes, I would have to do some research because I wasn't sure my
solution was correct. In doing so, I not only helped someone, I learned
something. The old saying "There is no better way to learn than to teach."
has proven true for me.

Keep asking, keep answering. Best to you.

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!

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....")

Thanks to Leslie for the kind words, and a "disclaimer" for Jack ...

As in many situations, there may not be "one (and only one) right answer"
.... stay flexible!

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

If you think you know the answer, go ahead and post.

If you are offbase, you will get corrected in almost every case. And in
almost every case, the correction will come politely.

Even if you do know the answer, there are times when you don't explain clearly
or make an error in the message that will cause the poster problems. Guess
what, the poster can post back and explain that your solution failed (and
hopefully tell you what that means). Then you get a second chance to help or
someone else will step in.
