You write that as if it's a bad thing. Though, to be clear...I can't say that there are any really close relationships between people following this newsgroup. What I can say is that we expect people asking questions to ask answerable questions, to provide additional details when requested, and to not exhibit hostility when they are asked for those additional details.

You guys should note that when someone posts a message here he/she assumes
that the info posted is sufficent for others to understand, what the problem
is all about, i do not think anyone will post a message knowing well that
the message will not get any replies.

You should note that when someone replies to a question you've posted here, there is the implicit assumption that the person who replied is trying to be helpful.

It's clear what assumptions you made. The problem is that even after it was pointed out to you that your assumptions were incorrect, you failed to correct those assumptions and elaborate on your question. Your further hostility in the face of additional reminders of your incorrect assumptions suggest that rather than looking to get an answer to your question, you would prefer to be abusive.

After all, a person who wanted an actual answer would just provide the additional information requested.

I had solved the problem in a round-about way, much before i posted the
message, my idea of posting this message was to get it across to those who
may be interested to know that there is a problem either in MS Access or
.NET Framework.

No one reading this message thread will have any clue whatsoever what problem you had, never mind in what component it exists or how to work around it.

The code was part of a large app and going back to the app just to reproduce
the exact error message would have taken me hours of work, and that was not
worth the effort of posting this message. [...]

Then you are wasting everyone's time. Please don't do that.

If it's not worth your time to provide an answerable question, then it's not worth anyone else's time to try to answer your question.
