Sharing with Newsgroup
What is the easiest way for me to share a routine I have
built with this newsgroup given that it has userforms? That is, if it doesn't have forms then I can just drop the code in and share it with you all. However if it is loaded with forms and controls, the code isn't enough. Do people submit full xla files to the group? Can they? Thanks |

Sharing with Newsgroup
Thanks for the offer. However, there is no practical way to share
binary files. Google will not archive posts with binary content and most regulars positively frown on binary attachments in text-only newsgroups. I, for one, simply delete any post that contains an attachment. So, about the only choice you have is (a) don't share or (b) create your own web site. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...

Sharing with Newsgroup
Most regulars don't want to see attachments to posts in the newsgroups.
Any way you can post it on a website and just share the link to that site?

Sharing with Newsgroup
Whilst I am not suggesting that people do attach to the NG, can someone
explain to me the difference between posting it to an NG and to a website? In both cases, AFAIK, you can save the file to your machine and virus check it, or you can leave it alone. And if you open it, you can disable macros. Just asking. Bob "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... Most regulars don't want to see attachments to posts in the newsgroups.

Sharing with Newsgroup
News servers form a gobal peer-to-peer network. Post something to one
and it is propagated to *every* server around the world. Many hosts that carry newsgroups prohibit binary posts in text-only newsgroups. Such messages are simply deleted by the server. Some others may impose limits on how much space is dedicated to a particular newsgroup. One large binary file can force the deletion of dozens (or even hundreds) of text-only messages. Some services impose limits on the rate at which a customer can download data from a news server. Even accidentally downloading a large binary file can result in that limit being exceeded. Newsgroups constitute a push technology in terms of keeping news servers up-to-date, though there is a pull flavor to the client-server interaction. Putting a file on a website is strictly a pull technology. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...

Sharing with Newsgroup
Okay, so the expected argument. But then surely the argument is to raise
with MS to forbid attachments, delete them at source, rather than fruitlessly banging on at people who do post, or even recipients like yourself having to delete any such offending items. Problem, not symptom. Bob "Tushar Mehta" wrote in message om... News servers form a gobal peer-to-peer network. Post something to one and it is propagated to *every* server around the world.
