Hi...is there any way to search for a previous post by "name" rather than by
date. I had a legitimate answer to a problem and cannot find the previous
post dated probably in July. The reply fixed my problem and I also gave a
positive answer to this post, but cannot find it. I now have the same
problem and need the answer given previously. I should have printed it out
and saved it, but...thought I was home free. Thanks!!

Search Google Groups for the name you posted under and the reply should be
just below. I had the same prob a while back and this worked for me.

Go to Google Groups Advanced Search. You'll be able to look for your
name and a timeframe.
