I agree. We don't all have the resources to go hire a professional or some one more trained than we are. The few times I've been lucky enough to have my company pay for that level of help I've been looked down upon as if I was second class because I just want help understanding what I'm doing...not help actually doing it. Even my company's highly trained Network Admin resorts to Google searches when she hits a rough spot and doesn't know where else to turn next because technology changes so quickly. Database Advisors was built by a group of international "pen pals" who were part of a community where we could share knowledge about Access and other subjects that was getting ready to be shut down. The group believed in it strongly enough that they formed a corporation and put their own resources into it to keep it running. I happen to be a fan of JC {no tomato throwing please} and have learned much from his discussions about frameworks and classes over the years. I've learned a lot from everyone who posts here. I don't always have a use for something they tell me at the time but I can't begin to count how often I've turned to this list or the archives when I hit a rough patch. Long life to the list...
