PA Bear,
Thank you for the response, it figuares MS would have a problem. Funny how I
did not see a message about it on the front page of MS's web site where it
should be listed. I had not had a chance to check for a response via my News
Reader at home in my PC lab as it is in the middle of a major upgrade. (All
new Core Dual systems etc.) When I am at work (IT support for local college)
we have all pop3 e-mail and news groups readers blocked at the Firewall. As a
result I have to use the Web Browser access point for my MS Newsgroup
inquiries.
Thanks again for all the help,
Ralph
