Re: Pivot Table

Hi, Keith.

Yes they are talented and generous but also human beings which I imagine
don't take kindly to all the name-calling which PCD frequently resorts to.

I agree, and the result is that some of them have kill filed him, but
certainly not all of them, because they still reply to his posts.

This could explain the lack of response to the OP

Agreed, but in this case, I think a lot of it has to do with the topic, as
well. Access Pivot Tables aren't in common usage, so people aren't racing
to answer Pivot Table questions here like they are with subforms,
Before_Update( ) events, MDE's, et cetera. For previous questions on other
topics he's posted when he identified himself as either PC Data*** or
Steve, he's usually received good, helpful answers.

His need to hide behind an alias to ask a question speaks volumes IMO.

Volumes the size of mountains. Wait a minute . . . you aren't taking a stab
at _my_ alias, are you? I know to stay on my toes when you're around.
Those zingers of yours hit their targets spot on! ;-)

Why not ask the question as "PC D(ata***)"?

Perhaps he's posting as Steve so that he can have a few moments of peace
while trying to get the help he needs, without having to deal with those who
are dogging his heals in the other threads where he's advertising as PC
Data***. Personally, I think if he takes the bull's-eye off his chest,
people won't be shooting at him wherever he goes.

That is indeed excellent advice. It's a shame that it will almost
certainly be ignored.

It takes effort, time and some degree of skill, but you know as well as I do
that it's a successful strategy. A fortunate side effect is that by working
at this strategy, one can develop a reputation over time as an authority in
specific areas, or even on a general topic, so it's well worth pursuing,
even if there isn't a monetary reward.

Hi, Keith.

You don't seriously expect any help from anyone on here do you PC D?

If history is any guide, then Steve, just like anyone else, can always
expect help from many of the Access experts. Not only are the Access
experts extremely talented, but they're also extremely generous, too.

Yes they are talented and generous but also human beings which I imagine
don't take kindly to all the name-calling which PCD frequently resorts to.
This could explain the lack of response to the OP and I wonder if Duane
knew with whom he was dealing when he responded.

Whenever Steve posts questions as either PC Data*** or Steve (so that
everyone knows who's asking the question), he usually gets very good
answers from the experts.

His need to hide behind an alias to ask a question speaks volumes IMO.

To Steve: <snip> and then post the tip on your Web site. Then whenever
you see others asking questions about Pivot Tables that are similar to
your problem here, you can post a link to the "Pivot Tables" tips page of
your Web site. In addition, you could post many of your own Access and
Excel tips on your Web site that you feel would help others, and then
provide a link to those tips in your sig line. If you write high
quality, helpful tips, you'll find others in the newsgroups gladly
posting links to your Web site's tips, too, when they're helping posters
with their questions, thereby increasing your visitor traffic and
potential customers.

HTH.
