One contender for a FAQ in my view is going to good books / references

eg "try these are useful resources"
I might inlclude the Access MVP site, Anything from Dev Ashish, Allen Browne amongst others. Its no bad thing to suggest that people actually try the help system. mebbe we even need to consider a brief section on how to use the help system if your first request was unsuccessfull (eg think of alternative words).

We get a lot of questions rehashing the same areas, the same information (not having a pop but anandjbsc's request is relatively common, as is the what do I need to do to use a server backend rather than JET). Another classic is workgroup security. In part becasue the site search is so flaky we seem to endup retyping the same info.

Personally I get a little hacked off when I see the same sort of stuff coming through which is amply covered in reference books or online resources. I'm thinking that a quick list of have you checked these resources first. even WWGS - what would Google say.

We shouldn't loose the focus of this site to act as a community resource to help fellow developers, and encourage one and all to contribute to that. But some of the stuff just seems sheer laziness.

Mebbe its a product of my background but I want to have close at hand a good solid reference that I can read when I want (or need) to but a lot of people here don't seem to want to shell out for what I regard as basic tools of the trade (I include the Access Developer Book as a basic tool of the trade)
