Which access groups are you major gurus, who answer all the difficult
questions here, going to be helping with your expertise once these microsoft
groups go away next week? All I have found so far for Access is
msdn.en-US.accessdev, but haven't seem you posting there...

You have all given us so much great advice, either directly or indirectly
though these microsoft.public.access.xxxx groups, and would like to follow
you wherever your expertise leads you.

Thanks, O Great Ones!

I don't know at this point.

I am still ticked off at the change. I will find a new home someplace. Not
for Microsoft's benefit, but for the benefit of the people that need help. I
enjoy helping and feel especially good when someone posts back with a thank
you message.

I've used NNTP via Thunderbird for the simple reason that it is efficient for
me to scan through a large number of posts quickly. Most of the web-based
sites slow me down considerably and I find more complex to use.

Well, there is the Answers forum at
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...addbuz/threads

Now I'm rather irritated at being lumped in with other products. I
would think the volumes of Access traffic at least warrant our own
forum. I'd vastly prefer about six or eight. But no word yet if
this will happen.

Note that I will continue to monitor this newsgroup from non MS
newsgroup servers. However traffic will be substantially less as
folks won't be using the MS Online portal to ask questions. Also
I'll be monitoring comp.databases.ms-access.

Go back a ways in the postings and see the topic misleadingly titled
"Reminder - Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Community"

They aren't going to go away. Only MS's news server is going to go
away, and I don't use it.

Nothing is disappearing, but MS would like you to believe that it
is.

MS has repeatedly posted about this in all the ms.public newsgroups.

away, and I don't use it.


But traffic will be down a lot, maybe as much as 90%, as many folks
use the online forums to ask questions.

Newsgroups work because News Servers connect to
each other. When the MS News Servers disappear,
microsoft.public.access will splinter into a bunch of
independent newsgroups, with only a few people on
each.

Unless the ISPs start offering free news groups to each
other, they will have to pay to maintain the community.

Alternatively, one organisation could be the centre for
microsoft.public.access. Putting aside the fact that
ISPs are dropping support for NewsGroups, what is
the likelihood that an ISP would want to connect to a
different server for every different microsoft news group?

Alternatively, one organisation could be the free centre
for all microsoft newsgroups, and the ISPs could all
connect. What is the possibility that Microsoft would be
willing to overlook an organisation posing as
microsoft.public?

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.

microsoft.public.access is retained

I will keep up as best I can on alternate servers. I intend to also post at:

comp.databases.ms-access

and possibly on the forums as well. I find forums difficult with the time
constraints that I have so my answers may be down significantly.

I operate 3 websites (in my SIG) and Doug Steele and I are writing a book
which will contain lots of helpful code.

I am also President of the Computer Society of Central Florida, and lead 3
special interest groups (SIGs) there as well, including 1 on Access. If you
live in the Orlando area, feel free to drop in. Information is at the
Society's website: http://www.cfcs.org
