      Success

      I agree the answer may be 'correct', but I don't think you can declare it a 'success' when the person goes to another forum and asks the same question.

        They asked the question simultaneously in two forums. That's my gripe, because then you have two different sets of people both trying to help, and when the answer is seen in one forum, the others don't get the benefit of the answer, or knowing when to stop because the problem is solved.

        And yes, they were happy with the answer, which is why there wasn't any followup here. That's also the rude part... if someone gets an answer from having cross-posted in forums, they should have the courtesy to post the answer every place they posted the question.
