If the "powers that be" consider this as an appropriate time to begin development of such a project, then as a catalyst, I offer my earlier statement, and research skills. I will be more than willing to help research web-published code. But in fairness to the eventual published content (code), I shouldn't write it;) To answer Andy's concerns, I honestly wasn't envisioning a database (knowledgebase) approach to this project. To keep it simple, thereby promoting actual progress;) I would suggest an "FAQ" type approach. A simple list of frequently asked questions and dbAdvisors suggested approach(es). And realistically, we needn't re-invent the wheel on every occasion. If Helen Feddema, Dev Ashish, Stephen Lebans, et. al. already have an accepted method, than a simple link will suffice. To recap, I think we need more than just a list of links to the established FAQs. I was thinking more along the lines of a "Best Practice" FAQ where we research alternative solutions to a particular problem, and provide dbAdvisors' "suggested approach". And, as background, I am not qualified to make those types of decisions. My applications, to date, have not been subject to driving concerns such as tight security, or heavy optimization. I am way to deep into the school of... "If it works, go with it".

Well, I can say with certainty there is currently no list setup for this. It may have existed before we switched hosts about a year ago, but it's not currently there.

Was: RE: [AccessD] Access XP and OutlookSecurity To whom it may concern... Database Advisors have done such a wonderful job on the downloads section of the website that questions such as the one below remind me that I haven't seen any discussions on the development of a "FAQ", "Best Practices", or "Knowledgebase" area. Honestly, I'm not complaining...just curious...
