<snip> The attitude below seems typical of several people on this list. I always found that when programmers asked me dumb questions, if you explained things to them and why they worked the way they did, you have a good chance of giving them the knowledge they need. Then you ask them questions so that you know they understood you. I found that they then learned something that might make them more productive and not ask you the same question later. </snip>
I agree but I don't even have access to the application folks who are coding in a different country and there is also a language barrier to deal with. When possible teach, but it is still a good policy to keep folks from stomping their own toes so that they don't call you in the middle of the night (their day time). Jon L.
