PMFJI, but being motivated by the desire to be given the MVP award is a terrible motivation for answering quations on any forum. I have been given the MVP award every year since 1999 and I can tell you that I would not do anything differently if Microsoft had never given me the award.If ambition motivates superior performance in others, who are we to criticize or knock people back?
Also, IMHO, being given the MVP award depends more on the quality of the answers you provide than the quantity < s >. Anyone with a good search engine can point you to links - this does not require any thought or expertise.We're talking about a vendor's MVP award, not a PhD. ;-) If it provides the solution, an answer is an answer. I do not accept that it is more creditable to repackage an excellent solution by somebody on another forum rather than providing a link to it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
