Design

[VoG]

There seem to be a fair few questions about how to design e.g. a database - Excel or Access etc questions. I just wondered if a separate section on this would be of benefit.

I have certainly read numerous threads in Excel Help where better initial design would have saved a lot of grief.

Just a thought.

Hi,

numerous times this kinda suggestions has been made
could be a good idea from some point of view
the most frequent answer was: too difficult to manage those subdivisions

Often questions starting with: "what VBA do I need to..." do end with "thanks for the formula" ! So, in what subforum would you put those threads ?

to my sense the search-function could be more sophisticated: this would diminish the need for those subforums
I wonder what you get when searching for
database structure

or googling

just my two cents

kind regards,
Erik

Maybe this is one of the things the Wiki could be used for?
