Thumbs up My 2 pence worth

Greets;

I'm relatively new to this forum, and have skim read this thread, and a lot of good ideas have been thrown out. When i caught the thread subject 'what do you want to see...?", before i read on a few things came to mind....

(thread) Tutorials in the "non code" - something anyone can contribute to, simple tutorials on creating better forms (even using the access wizard), organising data efficiently, downloadable samples even? Possibly complex but non-code related tutorials .

(thread) Code snippets - Code that serves certain functions put in here. What would be good would be in the FAQ or similar, or even with the thread, the means an ways of getting the code to work in your db. eg. how to paste the code to work behind a button, or onload etc.

After reading this thread, something else became apparent that would be a useful tool...

(thread) Directory (sticky) - Just a list of all tutorials [linked to original post in either of the above threads] and code snippets. It would be a pain to establish and need to be kept up to with regards to maintainance, but none the less very useful.

All in all, with those few things i think you'd have all bases covered. If people couldn't find the relevant code/tutorial, then they would post a thread. If someone did post a thread without searching first a link would be all they'd be given to the right post.

I'm not sure though about restricing users activity in anyway. I think that whether you are a guru, or a noob that does things simply and differently all contributions are valuable. I do think that a lot of people are into finding and answer and then you'd not see them again until they encounter another problem and remember they joined this forum.. what i say is...

All the answers are valuable and may proove useful to other people, and contributers to the forum. The code that someone created for a hit and run can be added to the library, and may serve further purposes for other people. Let hit and runners come to the forum by all means, what they don't know is they are contributing more than they think.
