Can we please stop giving useless answers?

And just to be clear on one other point.

I do NOT believe there should be any start up partners. Those days are long gone. Navision is no longer a green fields market that it was 15 years ago. It is an established market leader. If a partner wants to get into the market then they need to invest. Back in the day, the biggest investment we made was risk. Now it's a known quantity, and if you want in then you invest, you get good people, the people are out there, they just changed fields for better money. You hire smart people and you pay money to train them in proper classes, you don't say "go to www.downloadfreemicorosftexamcheatnotes.com and get certified. You don't start selling Navision unless you are sure you have the people to deliver. You make sure that if you employ 5 new Navision consultants, that you have 1 experienced consultant to mentor them, and expect that good one to be non billable. 10 years ago you could wing it, but not today.

This is probably the core issue here and it is 100% a Microsoft issue that they need to resolve, and not by making existing companies bigger, but by encouraging smaller or newer companies to invest. (but that is for another thread).

Sure, there is no startup partners in NA or Europe, but tons of them in Asia. Moreover, there is number of outsourcing companies who declare they are NAV specialists, but in fact just hire a couple of IT students. And yes, this students have no access to knowledgeable seniors. BUT, they do have access to books at least!

I started 14 years ago in eastern Europe, and there was no seniors, and internet was slightly different rather now, but at least Microsoft books was available.

Why not to read them first?

Why people trying to write a production code without any understanding of basics?

Simply answering "did you try search"

I don't think the concept of that answer is necessarily bad either. Although it is often phrased poorly, by me many times I'm sure

I take it as again doing someone's homework for them. I'm not going to search and paste an answer from another thread into a new one. I do think the "search" answer could be used better, though. By asking "What terms did you search for?" or "What threads have you already looked at?". English is not everyone's primary language, so I can certainly understand it being difficult to find something. But again, when I know an answer is out there, I want to know what you've already tried.

"you need code"

I agree this is a bad answer, but quite honestly it is often the most correct answer to a bad question.
