I don\'t think this forum\'s purpose is as a directory for where to find code. I agree that if a person is clueless you shouldn\'t hand out copy-paste code, but if a person needs essentially a single API and a template line of code, I don\'t see that as being a probelm.

\r\nI don\'t hand out code every chance I get because I feel it is better to guide someone than to give to them.

I\'m neither a professional programmer nor a particularly experienced one (I\'d say Journeyman for VBA, but not much beyond that) and I agree totally. If you give a person code handouts whenever they have a question, they learn to ask for code handouts rather than learning how to do it on their own. A lot of questions could be answered by using Help on the object/property/method/whatever, and saying that in an answer shouldn\'t be seen as snippy. I\'ve learned more by poking around, trying to answer questions other people ask, than I would have if I only asked a question when I needed help and took the answer without thinking about why it worked.
