How to make a formal THANK YOU sentence ?

[Martin]

I developed a MIS system by Access.

On the exit FORM, I want to "thank you for YOU" Microsoft Access
NewsGroup.

My mother language is not English.

I think :

Thankful for Microsoft Access NewsGroup

Acknowledge to Microsoft Access NewsGroup



How's the most formal sentence to thank you. It's the "thank you" special
for you

and... I really thank you, all the friends in this newsgroup, thank you for
your help Without you, I can not achieve so much in Access. Without you,
I cannot develop such a good system.

Thank you.


Martin

How about

"Acknowledge to Microsoft Access Newsgroup for the technical support."

Is it OK? has Grammar mistake?

 

[Roger Carlson]

Well, the intent is clear, but it's not idiomatically correct. Try these:

Formal:
"Technical support provided by the Microsoft Access Groups."

Informal:
"Many thanks to the Microsoft Access Groups for their technical support."

Yes, your phrase has got a grammar error in it. You don't acknowledge to
something, you simply acknowledge something. However, using acknowledge as a
verb is essentially telling whoever reads the note that they must
acknowledge the group. It's you who are acknowledging them, not your users!

Try "Acknowledgement to Microsoft Access Newsgroup for the technical
support."

or, better

"With acknowledgement to Microsoft Access Newsgroup for the technical
support."
