Newsgroup Not Available

[JohnB]

Hi. I get the above message when I try to look at most of
the Access Newsgroup sections. The only one I can get into
is this one, Forms and I can only view the first page.
Does anyone know whats going on? Cheers, JohnB

How are you getting to the Newsgroups? There are several ways to do so
- the Microsoft Communities webpage is one, but it's not "the
newsgroups", it's a newsreader program. There are others, arguably
better.

For instance, you can use Outlook Express as a newsreader. Point to
msnews.microsoft.com as the news server and you'll be able to see all
of Microsoft's newsgroups. The feature set is of course different than
the webpage, but it may be worth a try.
