I know this may get me shot, but does anyone know of a forum as good as
this for Access, as this is really what I work in, but do dribs and
drabs in excel too.

Again I know I'm being cheeky, but being this place is such a wealth of
information, I thought I'd ask!!

Cheers,

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

There is the:

microsoft.public.access

newsgroup that you might find helpful.

There is tons of others.. You could do a search in Groups and just
write Access

Regards,
Bondi

Look at the Office Discussion Groups==Access Database which has equivalent
NGs to the Excel ones.

You could see a list of all the groups via google:
http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?hl=en&sel=33554433

I clicked through a few levels to see this.
http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?...06877&expand=1

But lots of these "forums" like excelforum are just gateways to usenet. They
gobble up your messages and post them to a newsgroup. Then they gobble up
responses and show them to you.


If you're going to use the newsgroups for most anything, I've found it much
better to just connect directly to the MS newsservers.

Saved from a previous post:

If you have Outlook Express installed, try clicking on these links (or copy and
paste into MSIE).

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ic.excel.setup
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.excel.misc
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...heet.functions
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...excel.newusers
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...el.programming

(and a few more for MSWord)
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....docmanagement
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...word.word97vba
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....word.newusers
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ord.pagelayout
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ord.vba.addins
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vba.beginners
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....customization
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...rd.vba.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vba.userforms
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....word6-7macros

(You can always connect to more later)

Here are some links that explain it better:

Chip Pearson has some notes written by Leonard Meads at:

David McRitchie's notes at:

And if you're looking for old posts:

Or you can use google to search for stuff you've posted (and find the replies,
too)

Have a browse through this list of NG's available through msnews.microsoft.com.

http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

You will have to be using a dedicated news reader like OE or Forte Agent.
