  1. How to help ms-access askers with creating repros?
  2.  
  3. ----
  4.  
  5. Asking [tag:ms-access] questions is different from asking about other sql-related tags: it can prove rather difficult to create a reproducible scenario. Heck, there's plenty of MS Access developers that do not know (that much) SQL, programming with the other (mostly) GUI tooling MS Access provides.
  6.  
  7. Nonetheless, being able to reproduce an OP's scenario is needed to be able to reliably answer their question. So, **how can we help MS Access askers with creating a repro?** Are there any examplary [tag:ms-access] questions and answers that do this?
  8.  
  9. Heck, what *is* the preferred way of doing this? Screenshots of creating tables with a GUI? Proze? A code block with some sample data layouted as a table?
  10.  
  11. I've already tried asking a more [general question](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/299484/419956) but that one turned out to become advice about SQL questions with advice not (always) applicable to MS Access users. Similarly, [this other related (FAQ) question](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/271055/419956) is also not always useful to MS Access users.
