There are several repeated questions, which is why we decided to implement an FAQ forum - often containing multiple answers to each question.

However, they do not answer all questions in an area - as it would take a long time (and a lot of effort) for each item, for example to go thru all possible uses of a control. It would also probably not answer the majority of the questions any better than VB's Help system can, and would not answer specific 'awkward' questions as well as our members can.

I agree that there is lots of useful information on the forums that could be added to the FAQ forum from other sections, but collecting and organising it would be very time consuming. As we are all volunteers, I'm afraid that isn't likely to happen.

Some forum members will create new FAQ threads if we see a need; If there is anything that you (or anybody else) would like to create an FAQ thread for, then please go right ahead. If you don't think you can write the whole thread yourself, then let me know - I can help.


A re-arrangement of forums isn't as good in practice as it is in theory - several people get confused as it is, so adding more options of where to post would get them (and others) more lost.


Unfortunately the answer is to either improve your search criteria (if you can - it isn't always easy!), or to go thru the threads that the search brings up
