     In the left top window, identified as "News Server" you will see the name of all the news groups your server's news feed carries. At the very left of that window are folder icons, if there are subgroups within that folder. If there is a plus mark to the left of the icon, it means there are groups within that folder that you might want to look at. Click on the plus mark to list the subgroups, click on the minus sign to close that folder.

     As you probably know, one of the new things in Access 2000 is a Subdatasheet, a grid that shows up when you click on a plus mark next to each record of the table that is in 1-1 or 1-many relationship with table(s). The examples of the pictures taken can be found at http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Palms/9151/ac_slike.zip and now please look at picture 1.jpg
     Picture one shows a price list. So, there are groups of products, products themselves and packages of the products. The relation is Groups->Products->Packages. The picture shows packages of the second product in the first group that showed up when the user clicked a plus mark.
     The problem can be seen in picture 2.jpg when going to the new group (group no. 3) the packages of the second product of this group are visible even though the user didn't open them by clicking on the plus mark. I think that the best thing would be to remember the state of each datasheet or to collapse all when going to another group.

     A machine for drawing/cutting an ellipse is basically a plus mark shaped groove in wood or plastic and a bar with two adjustable points and a holder for a marker/cutter at the end. The distances from the marker/cutter to the first point and from the first pointer to the second determine the size of the ellipse. Keeping the points in the grooves of the plus mark takes practice.

     Jim,
     Open up your address book in OE under the "Tools" menu. In the address book, click on View and make sure there is a check mark next to Folders and Groups. You should be seeing a list on the left side of the address book with at least "Shared Contacts" and Identity contacts. If you click on Identity contacts you should see the name of your group in the list on the right. If there is a plus mark next to your identity contacts on the left, click the plus and you should see the groups drop down under that folder.
