i NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THIS NEWSGROUP
"This newsgroup" is three newsgroups: microsoft.public.access,
microsoft.public.access.3rdpartyusrgrp, and
microsoft.public.access.dataaccess.pages.
They all have to do with Microsoft's desktop database product named Access.
Microsoft.public.access is the general discussion group; .3rdpartyusrgrp is a
very quiet, little used forum for discussions about user groups (real life
groups where people meet in a coffeeshop or a conference center and talk about
Access); .dataaccess.pages is for an old feature of that name, no longer being
developed or enhanced by Microsoft.
You can ask questions about your Access database; you can answer questions, if
you feel that you can help someone; or, if you're not interested in Access,
you can unsubscribe from the newsgroups and pay no attention to them at all.
Nobody's going to make you read them!
