Hi all
Today is a sad day because tomorrow MS will close the Excel newsgroups. I want to say that I hade a great time in the Excel groups the last years. Sharing knowledge is a great thing After tomorrow we must use the MS forums and I hope it will give me the same fun as I hade with the newsgroups. Maybe this page will help you if you start using the MS Forums and not like the web interface http://www.rondebruin.nl/nntpbridge.htm Thanks everybody for everything, see you in the MS Forums -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm |

i use this version of a bridge as it's much better than microsoft's. it
incorporates both answers and technet, whereas microsoft's needs two separate bridges on separate ports, http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/releases/view/46274 -- Gary Keramidas Excel 2003 "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

I'm still hoping that a reasonable number of news servers will continue to
carry the newsgroups, and that therefore the groups will be able to continue providing help to users. I'm not currently planning on shifting to the MS forums, so to any who don't plan to stay here in the newsgroups, thanks for all your help over the years. -- David Biddulph "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

Hi David
Hope you change your mind if they close these newsgroups, you'll be miss by many. There's only a handful of experts (Gurus) and you're one of them.

David,
Please reconsider. The Bridge works well and working directly in Answers in not that much of a chore. You will be sorely missed if you do not make the transition - I need someone to trap my odd silly mistake! best wishes Bernard "David Biddulph" groups [at] biddulph.org.uk wrote in message ...

David, Please reconsider.
You will be sorely missed if you do not make the transition Indeed! So far I've been using the web interface over there. Yeah, it sucks, mostly because I use an old unsupported browser, IE6, but it's not horrible! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Bernard Liengme" wrote in message ... David, Please reconsider.

I have installed "The Bridge" since I use the newsgroup primarily to access
the Programming group. I did not see an Excel Programming group listed under The Bridge so which group should one select Bridge to maintain that connection to the programming gurus?
