You mean you have an illegal copy, and you're hoping someone will give you
the key so that you can load it?

Well, you've certainly got chutzpah, given these newsgroups are hosted by
Microsoft!
 
Hi Saikou,

Since you are posting this question in an Access newsgroup, I'm wondering if
you want to connect to VFP tables from an Access MDB, either by importing,
linking, or OLE DB and ADO. Why do you think you need a Visual FoxPro
product key?

In order to use the OLE DB data provider that shipped with VFP7 you needed
to have a copy of VFP7. This is no longer the case. You can download the
latest FoxPro and Visual FoxPro OLE DB data provider from
msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates. It works with all versions of
FoxPro DBFs and DBCs.

Uh, I'm not posting to a newsgroup hosted by Microsoft, but hosted
by the news server provided by my ISP.
 
Hi David,

The newsgroups are hosted by Microsoft. Microsoft's news server is
msnews.microsoft.com. Note that the newsgroup name is "microsoft.public.*"
and not "comp.*" Your ISP just picks up the groups and propagates them.

I agree with David (who is rarely, if ever, wrong about
these things).

usenet is hosted by a plethora of servers that propogate
messages to other servers. The MS servers are monitored by
MS personel and spam filters, but other servers are not.
This effect is easy to see if you set up separate accounts
to several servers and look for messages that appear on some
servers and not on others.

And I must say the filters do a bang up job on filtering out the aaroninanities
and whinerisms.

Yes, Microsoft hosts a public news server.
Microsoft's news server is
msnews.microsoft.com.
Absolutely.

Um, yes, because a news server is a news server, and less
propagation is closed to one server, no Usenet group can be said to
be "hosted" by any single Usenet server.

I have never even once used MS's news server -- I have always posted
to MS newsgroups through my ISP's news server.

I suggest you read up on how Usenet works.

You don't need people to get good filtering, just a decent news
reader.

Doug first used the word "hosted;" I used it again after him. I think what
he originally intended to point out (and I certianly did) is that the
newsgroups were microsoft.public.* newsgroups vice being part of the nine
major hierarchies: alt.*, comp.*, etc.

Also, the newsgroups can be accessed via msnews.microsoft.com without any
charge beyond your basic Internet access, even if your ISP or University
doesn't have a news server of their own. Furthermore, to my knowledge, the
msnews.microsoft.com servers do not propagate any of the nine major
hierarchies.

Finally, Microsoft staff use their microsoft.public.* "managed" newsgroups
as a way of delivering support to those who have MSDN software
subscriptions. (Subscribers are promised a satisfactory answer, either from
the community or Microsoft staff, within two business days.) Although
Microsoft staff might be active in other hierarchies such as comp.* it would
be on their own time and not as part of the MSDN service.

Please forgive my poor choice of terminology.

Very true, but I've been away from the newsgroups until recently, and I was
surprised when searching through Google Groups for info that the new troll
aliases peppered throughout the newsgroups are missing (fortunately) from my own
newsreader without my having lifted a finger to filter them out. I have no idea
what has motivated them, but the trolls have dramatically increased production
of troll spit in recent months, and I'm very happy my computer monitor wasn't
their spittoon.
