DWMX \| ASP \| ACCESS or DWMX \| PHP \| MYSQL as basic examples. The least you can do is give this information to let people help you. No point in sitting there waiting for an answer, only for someone to have to reply to your post to ask if you are using ASP or PHP etc... It's time wasting for us and YOU. regards Dave ok over the last few weeks/months i've been noticing a lot of forum posts that don't include any info on helping a question get answered, only the problem seems to be posted. tips: append your profile signature to show what coding language your using etc...

ok over the last few weeks/months i've been noticing a lot of forum posts that don't
include any info on helping a question get answered, only the problem seems to be posted.

tips:
append your profile signature to show what coding language your using etc...

DWMX | ASP | ACCESS

or

DWMX | PHP | MYSQL

as basic examples.

The least you can do is give this information to let people help you.
No point in sitting there waiting for an answer, only for someone to have
to reply to your post to ask if you are using ASP or PHP etc...
It's time wasting for us and YOU.

You may be suprised that your answer may be on the site already! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Also, over the years, I have found that the Internet is better when you <b>try searching a little on at least Google</b> (www.google.com). This community is always here to help, but most of our help stems from <i>us</i> doing the Googling for you. If the answer can be found within 10-15 minutes on Google, then you probably don't need to post in the forums.
