This morning I was pulling out what little hair I have left trying to make an programmatic ADODB connection to a Pervasive (btrieve) database from VFP with no success.
I started to write up the problem to submit it to this group to see if I could get an assist in figuring out my problem and in the process of trying to explain it in an email, I realized what I had done wrong, make a change in my code and voila! Problem solved!
Sometimes just knowing there is a group of like-minded individuals I can turn to is enough to solve even the toughest problem. You guys have always been there for me when I needed it, occasionally even before I submit a question like today, and I just wanted stop for a moment and say thank you.
Thanks to Ed for keeping this whole thing going. Thanks to everyone who contributes questions and answers. I learn more from your questions and answers than you will ever know. This resource is one of my favorites and I refer back to past emails almost daily.
Y'all have made me a better programmer and I appreciate it. Just wanted you to know it.

Been there, done that so many times, Paul. Quite often the act of formulating a properly worded question that even Ted would accept leads to the answer. 😉

Exactly the reason for "How to Ask a Good Question." Much as I enjoy annoying fellow forum members, stating the basics, especially when you know "that couldn't be the problem" and justifying the steps you took along the way troubleshooting ("No, wait, did I try to do it this way and that way?") very often solve the problem. I delete a number of questions ready to send to the list for exactly this reason.

I find this list a breath of fresh air. Good answers, banter, and friendly.
I sent a message to the support group for a third party tool I'm working with in a .NET project. I explained the scenario, the trouble I was having, and what I did to try to fix the problem. I waited 24 hours for a response. They answered with information about another product that doesn't work in the project I was working in. I'm working in WPF, they sent information about ASP.NET CORE. Two different frameworks that talk to each other via http.
May you enjoy your weekend! Tracy
