Access Discussion Group Message Pane

[John G]

Hi everyone,

This may not be the place to post this question but can anyone tell me what
is wrong. Here is my situation.

The "Message pane" is missing in the MS Access discussion group in my web
browser. What do I do to display the message pane on the right? The "TOC
pane" is on the left and the "Thread pane" goes all the way across the screen
to the right of the "TOC pane". Can anyone tell me how to display the three
panes side by side? It is a real "pain" looking for answers when there is no
message pane to the right.

Thanks in advance.

The Microsoft webpage interface to the newsgroups is notoriously unreliable...
fortunately it's also unnecessary.

Though you'ld never know it from what Microsoft exposes, the webpage is NOT
the repository for database answers; it's just a newsreader which is one of
many ways to view the questions and answers posted on the msnews NNTP news
server.

Try using Outlook Express or Windows Mail in their "News" mode (rather than
"Mail"); select msnews.microsoft.com as the News Server.
