Refresh your newsreader's list of newsgroups -- it's there, at least on
Mocrosoft's servers. I don't see how people using Microsoft's web-based
newsreader can post to it, though.
 
Hi Nikos,

It's been available on the microsoft servers at
news.microsoft.com
for just a week, but probably at very few others to date.

Either ask your ISP (or whoever manages your nntp server) to start
carrying the new group, or else point your newsreader to
news.microsoft.com.

It appears to be the new group labeled "Access Modules DAO VBA ADO".

It's hard to tell, since the "Community Newsgroups" window displays its own
idiosyncratic names, not the actual newsgroup names.

All,

Thanks for your feedback. I am reading directly from news.microsoft.com,
using Mozilla Firefox as a client, but had failed to do the obvious:
refresh! Thanks Dirk:-)

I was mistaken. The two dead groups are still displayed on
//support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx; the newly created newsgroup
is NOT in the list.

Microsoft's left hand knoweth not what its right hand doeth! Could someone
talk to whoever is in charge of the web interface, and let them know about
the changed newsgroups?

Uh, . . . don't hold your breath. Microsoft needs to hire new Web
programmers to fix this, because the entire Web Team has been placed in the
ACF (Assisted Computing Facility) at Silicon Pines:

Sorry. My fault. When I submitted a bug report on an extremely simple Web
page bug (a broken link) at the end of February and finally received the
following message last Friday, "The Web Team was unable to reproduce the
issue you have encountered," I had to do something about it. I contacted
some people who contacted some other people who, in turn, contacted Web Team
family members about the ACF program. It just snowballed when these folks
found out that Microsoft foots 100% of the bill for employees and
contractors, and soon the entire Web Team was placed as residents in the
ACF.

As it says in the brochure, they're never getting out.

HTH.

P.S. Yes. It's April 1st. ;-)
