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!

snip

For every problem there is one answer which is simple, neat and wrong!

I echo everyone else's sentiment. It's nice to get some positive feedback
once in a while.

I just have to jump in here and add my thanks and appreciation to everyone
who had been so helpful to me over the years. I started hanging around here
several years ago and did not know much of anything. After all these years,
now I can really see how much I don't know. LOL. I do try now to contribute
to the group when I can.

I have received more help than most around here and I would not be doing
what I am doing today (making my living as and Access Developer) with out the
help of those around here.

Many times I don't even have to post a question, I simply search on the
subject and find several answers or at least several posting with possible
solutions.

I have made many friends here and look forward to making even more. It has
been my pleasure to become personally aquainted with at least one of the
Access MVP's and I can tell you that he is one fantastic guy and I consider
it a real blessing to have made his aquaintence.

Thanks again to all.

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!

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....")


Nah, if I'm not quite sure I add weasel phrases such as "I don't think
you can do that".

Oh no! You may want to print your retraction right away, before any others
buy their airline tickets...

I'll beat you all to it. I live about 35 miles from Liverpool (and I'm
always thirsty, naturally)

Very eloquently said and greatly appreciated.

Just to share it, I forwarded it on to my MVP lead at
Microsoft. He said he would pass it around to his peers and
managers to help keep these newsgroups in perspective with
all the other stuff they have to deal with.

Agreed! Those who come to these groups and give of their own personal time time and expertise, no matter how little or how much, to help others are truly deserving of our sincere thanks. I personally know many who are long time MVPs, and many who are not...it is their desire to help others that brings them here.
