SUMMARY
Microsoft has expanded its online services to a non-proprietary platform with the addition of no-charge Microsoft-sponsored NNTP newsgroups on the Internet. Previously, Microsoft-sponsored electronic service forums were limited to users of CompuServe and MSN. With the creation of these newsgroups, users of Microsoft Access can obtain online service support on the Microsoft Support Web site at

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

by using any Internet service provider.

Microsoft does not offer any formal support in these newsgroups. Instead, these newsgroups are provided as a platform for participating in the global community of Microsoft customers and product experts. Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) provide technical answers and expertise in the newsgroups. The MVPs come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions, with a willingness to give their time, expertise, and advice to enhance the technical skills of other customers.

You can use any newsreader software to access the newsgroups. The Microsoft news server name is msnews.microsoft.com. You do not need to enter an account name or password.
