Depends what you want - what are you trying to do?

Basically I'm looking for a library of code snippets, functions and add-ins that I can use as a reference rather than having to hunt around for stuff.

The kind of things I'm after would be, for example, code to open a 'save as' or 'file open' dialogue or an auto compacting routine or code for a progress meter and so on, the kind of stuff that I use a lot.

I've seen a few CDs around for this type of thing but I wondered whether anyone knew of a free source. Also I am loathed to spend the money until I know whats included.

Why not search these forums and collect all the functions written by various members into one specific function library of your own?

What I want is a reference that I can use BEFORE I come to this and other forums and start searching the web for answers.

Although the help and advice I have received through this forum in the past has been excellent, time is money and I do not always have the time to mooch about on the web looking for what I want.

time is money and I do not always have the time . . . . .

I think its probable you'll find that we all have little books or something of snippets of useful code that we've built up over the years.

I think its really a question of finding time to do it.

Mile-O is right, there are lots of examples of good code here, the problem is you don't know what you want until you need it.
