I usually use my Outlook Express News account on outlook to log onto the microsoft.public.access.querries news group.

I have done this succesfully many times in the past (did it only last week) but for some reason I cant seem to post the message tonight. My internet service provider is not able to assist and keeps on telling me to contact Microsoft.

The following is the error message I keep on getting, is as follows:

Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Sorry having problems with posting a message please ignore', Account: 'news.chariot.net.au', Server: 'news.chariot.net.au', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '441 No newsgroups in active.dat matched {microsoft.public.access.queries}', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

Can anyone help me??

That error implies the news server no longer carries that group. You can, however, access the microsoft groups directly from news.microsoft.com.

You can always get it here on this forum of course.
