hey is anyone out there? Perhaps I did not send the msg correctly!
Thanks and hope you have a great nite!
You didn't.
Microsoft Access(TM) is a database program, part of the Office Pro
suite. The newsgroup microsoft.public.access is a newsgroup for
general questions about programs being developed in Microsoft Access -
NOT for general questions about any program you might happen to have
installed on your PC.
You did receive an answer, on the newsgroup, pointing this out and
suggesting that you a) cannot open a Publisher file unless you have
Publisher and b) that you might want to scroll down the list of
newsgroups and find one that supports Publisher, such as
microsoft.public.publisher.
I'm replying by EMail because you might not realize that it's
traditional to come back to the newsgroup for answers; private EMail
support is usually reserved for paying customers. The people who
answer questions here are volunteers, not Microsoft employees (except
for a few MS employees volunteering their own time).
Please repost your question in a Publisher newsgroup. You should get a
good answer there.
