Hey just wondering what the link is for the other forums. There is a
microsoft access site, an word perfect site and some more sites. What
is the link again please?
 
You are using Exceltip / Excelforum. With all respect to those sites (well,
not really), what you see there is simply a web display of the things posted
in Usenet newsgroups. A few of us truly dislike that our free assistance
attracts people to a commercial site like that. You can have the real
complete noncommercial Usenet experience if you set up a newsreader and
connect directly. Then you will also see the discussions properly threaded,
not as a simple messy webpage list.

Here's a how-to for Outlook Express:

and as Gord says, server name is msnews.microsoft.com .

HTH. Best wishes Harald
Followup to newsgroup only please

Yeah, it sort of makes one feel dirty or something. Having someone use
our help to make money sucks. It is even worse than getting spammed cos
we post helpful hints here.
