    Can I make a request?

    Especially in this forum (Office Development, aka VBA), would you please post in the title what apps you are using? It gets annoying reading and trying to help with a question that seems like it would be for one app when it's really for another. This seems especially prevalent with Excel/Access issues, which are the majority here. I know lots of people use Excel as a sort of database, but it's annoying to read posts like "How do I write a query in this table" for x number of posts, maybe trying to help the poster, thinking it's Access because of the terminology, only to find out 8 posts down the line that they mean "calculate a value in a worksheet", or something like that.
    Thanks.

    This sounds like a reasonable request that I ave also come across too. Maybe like a "Before you post" type of sticky thread at the top of the forum.

    Posts should include the Office app in question, version, and if its being automated from another programming language like vb6 or vb.net (and their version too).

    Any other suggestions before I write up a short post?
