I had a quick look again today in the Microsoft's version of forums, I didn't stay long it was not the most pleasant experience. Think I'll stick with the the forums I know and trust, oh and I do have the bridge running, not I may add the Microsoft one though. -- Joan Archer http://crossstitcher.webs.com/ "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:#KQQvxGGLHA.4824(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > MowGreen wrote: >> nntp(a)microsoft.com wrote: >>> In an effort to enhance and improve your experience, this newsgroup is >>> scheduled for closure in the upcoming months and we would like to invite >>> you to participate at >>> http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/group/WindowsAnswers >>> forum(s).
