I've seen something on another forum and I thought I should tell it to this forum users. It is the use of a tag at the beginning of the title to tell, with one word, in which sub-category the question falls. There is no need to modify the forum itself. It is just a new way to post new threads, so anyone can start using it right now. I know that I will from now on. May I suggest the moderators to add it to one of their sticky thread and bring in their own tags.

Here are some exemples:

General tags:
[Resolved] The answer has been found.
[Beginner] A lot of details (and patience) needed.
[French]|[Spanish]|[German] Some problems with writing and/or reading English.
[Access Version ##]|[Windows version ##]
...

Access general tags:
[Security]
[Back-end/Front-end]
[MDE]
[Toolbars and menus]
[References]
...

Table tags:
[Relations]
[Importing]
[Corruption]
[AutoNumber]
[Keys]
[Format]
...

Query tags:
[Functions]
[SQL-specific]
[IIf]
[Update query]
...

Form tags:
[Subforms]
[Combobox]
[Tabs]
[Command buttons]
[Updating]
[Design]
...

Report tags:
[Subreports]
[Printing]
[Grouping]
[Total/sums]
[Charts]
...

VBA tags:
[Debug]
[Recordsets]
[DAO/ADO]
[Math formula]
[Dates]
[Error-trapping]
...

Excel tags:
[VBA]
[Formula]
[Graph]
...

Word tags:
[VBA]
[Styles]
[Indexes]
[Images]
...

The list could go on...
Even the Watercooler could benefit from it...
[Jokes]
[Interesting link]
[Birthday]
[Pictures]
[Quiz]
...

In hope that it might help us better understanding everyone needs faster.

Nice idea. But I doubt people will do it because they seem to have enough problems doing the title in meaningful English to aid the search process.
