I was curious about the answer myself. Will you tell us which other
newgroup, or shall we manually search all 100,000+ ? <grins>

You can do a search at http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search to try
and find it. You know the name of the original poster, you know the subject
of the original post, you know the date of the original post, and you can
assume that the newsgroup is microsoft.public.access.* (make sure you
remember the asterisk) That should return a limited list that you can then
check for the answer.

Just as some backgroup, here's what I normally post under the same
circumstances that led Jeff to post what he did.

"Already answered in another newsgroup to which you posted the same
question.

"If you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to
each group). In this way, all responses to your post will be available
together, regardless of what group the responder was in, and the rest of us
won't have to read your post multiple times. (It also uses fewer server
resources)"

I then include one of the two (if appropriate):

"I see you're using Outlook Express. Click the "Newsgroups:" label to the
left of the box containing the name of the current newsgroup. That will open
a dialog that will let you add additional newsgroups to your post.

"If you're using Microsoft's web interface to post, please note that you can
type the names of the various groups into the Newsgroup box. Separate each
newsgroup name with a semicolon."

And end with:

"Note that it's generally consider to be A Bad Thing to cross-post to more
than about 2 or 3 newsgroups. (In fact, at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2001/Mar01/Mar27pmvp.asp
Microsoft suggests that "One group will suffice")"

Doug's reply is much politer (and more pointed) than mine.

check for the answer.

I see the original poster as to writing to only this group.

So what I understand is there some other poster, to some other group, in
some time in history, answered his question in some other place.

"If you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to

Where is this quote? I do not see any posting with it.

I do not see either of these either.




Plain and simple, you're refering to old and outdated threads. As I do not
have these on my news server, I'm asking where the thread is.

It's not available to me on my server.

<Smack!> (sound of a V-8 moment). Sorry, Adrian, I left off the newsgroup.
It was posted in the formscoding newsgroup.

Good luck

Don't you hate those days?

Thank you.
