but you no1 bothered to answer.. itz got SOO many views.
I see, well I am sorry nobody bothered to answer your question the first time around but you must understand that most of us have jobs to do and come to this site in our free time, I usually come on here weekends & evenings.
The only reason I can imagine your question was not answered, was because you were unfortunate that the particular person with a particular knowledge didn't see it.
As to the number of views you indicate for the question, then that is a plus really isn't it, it means that your question got a lot of attention. But unfortunately not from the right person.
I personally prefer Answering questions about combo boxes, about opening forms and displaying particular data. I avoid any questions on table design, reports and some very complicated SQL type of questions. I am starting to answer questions on SQL and my SQL is improving, I am starting to answer more and more advanced SQL questions. I would imagine that other people have their own particular preferences.
The reason I do this is that by answering questions on the edge of my understanding I have to think about things that do not normally cropped up in my everyday work, so hopefully my knowledge and understanding of MS Access will improve. unfortunately, I occasionally give the wrong answer, or get hold of the wrong end of the stick and answer the wrong question. This is also an important part of learning, these mistakes I make are helping me become better at answering questions. Obviously this will also help me in my work, because the one aspect of being effective in work is providing good communication. Any improvement in my communication is obviously a bonus. And believe it or not, another reason that I answer questions is that I enjoy doing it!
I think that you may benefit from attempting to answer some questions yourself, you may then begin to see the other side of the coin, and maybe that will help you with your attitude!
Finally...

>>>>>but you no1 bothered to answer.. itz got SOO many views<<<<
It is surprisingly difficult to read. You put >>> no1<<< instead of >>> no one<<<< but when I read it first time I thought it meant >>> Number 1 <<<<
the rest of the text is slightly better, slightly easier to read, but why? Why should I bother to read it? There are other people who post, who post properly, well written , and easy to read questions.
The problem for me, and I would imagine others answering questions, is that there is no correct format for asking a question. And because most people here are new to MS Access, they are not yet familiar with the terms used in access , for example there are >>>tables <<< which have, columns, fields, rows, there are forms would have on them controls , text boxes , combo boxes, list boxes, check boxes, subforms...
So when you see a question, the first task is to read it! What is the person really asking! And this is quite difficult, the point I'm trying to make, is that you do not really need the extra task of deciphering some modern way of writing. So you will be doing yourself a big favor, by writing your text out in formal English. If you don't, some people are going to skip over it and find a question that is easier to read. In fact after this experience with you, which really has been a complete waste of time for everyone involved, I have decided that if I find a question difficult to read, I am going to ask the person to rewrite it.
thats not it... i don't know why, but both of them have a HUGE ego problem... ppl.. get rid of it soon ... because if ppl like me come here... you won't have a good time....
