It is an eternal problem I think.
So many posters are not able to explain their problem a bit more clear.

Sure - the language can be a part of the problem (I KNOW

).

But sooo often there is only bla bla instead of giving
table structure
sample data
wanted output

Maybe one solution could be to make a form for opening a thread?

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Hi Don,
not bad but I was serious about making a form for opening a thread...

On the other hand I will try to get a gadget to post:
please give
table structure
sample data
wanted output

or

please use [C0DE] ...your_code... [/C0DE]
to leave your code formatted

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

But I guess still posters will ignore it.Because they are so desperate for a solution upfront.

Yep. It does not matte WHAT we do.. you will have students who want an answer for the test they are taking or their homework, and want JUST CODE, period. We cant win.
