Why, when I post a question to the VB area, am I told &quot;The VB TA has subtopics. Please select the subtopic that most closely matches your question topic&quot; (either &quot;VB Controls&quot; or &quot;VB DB&quot;)!!<br />
NEITHER of those makes sense for many of my VB questions! &nbsp;Why can't I just submit it to the VB (general) area?<br />

This must be a bug that only I get! &nbsp;How do other people submit questions into the VB general area?<br />

Why is a subtopic required when submitting a question to the VB TA?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
