MS Access Forum / New Users / November 2004What Happened to Help and Support
Yesterday I posted this: What happened to this site: http://support.microsoft.com/ I used to go here, click on Newsgroups at the top, click on Windows, XP, choose a sub category and then post. It was simple. Where did it go? I received two responses (and thanks to both) one directing me to this site: http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx And the other advising me of the following: Or look for Microsoft Newsgroups under Self Support Options on the left-hand side of the page. Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP I don't see Self Support Options on the left hand side. I see Discussion Groups Home and then the sub category of English. Under that is Accessibility but the categories are really limited. Have the completely done away with the newsgroups that used to be on support.msn? Thanks in advance. hi, not sure what happened but about 2 weeks ago everything were weird. the newsgroups i knew and loved suddenly mutated in to several similar but different sites. it took me a while but i did find one i was comfortable with. http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp? icp=prod_office&slcid=us Regards Frank >-----Original Message----- >Yesterday I posted this: [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >. My thought exactly Frank. I found the newsgroups easy to find and use. I'll try the link you provided. Thanks! > hi, > not sure what happened but about 2 weeks ago everything [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >> >>. My advice was with respect to http://support.microsoft.com/ not to the other URL posted. If you go to http://support.microsoft.com/ you should see the Self Support Options on the left-hand side. Either one is going to take you to a similar site where you have the tree on the left-hand side, one choice of which is English. When you pick English, you should get a lot of options in addition to just Accessibility. Scroll down to Office and select it. You'll get more choices, one of which is Access.
