Besides browsing these for recent postings, you can use the search
functions. It may take awhile to figure out the
best words to search on, but you can find information here not availably elsewhere.
Post a question in a Microsoft Forum - Keep your question brief and to the point. Try to include a
code snippet that demonstrates your problem, without lots of unrelated detail. It would be best to
alter personal or site specific information in the code. Try to have one question per posting, but
no question is too simple. If you are getting an error message, indicate which line raises the error.
Most error messages include the line number, but other people cannot tell which line that corresponds to
unless you indicate.
Check out Links and References - Check out some of the sites on the Links page of this site. Also, the
books listed on the References page are excellent learning resources.
