Check out the Microsoft Project News Group

(The Microsoft Project newsgroup is a good forum for posing questions and getting answers about MS Project. It is hosted on a Microsoft Server, but is for end users. You will be posing questions to Project experts, not necessarily Microsoft employees).

You will need a newsreader (such as Gravity NewsReader or Microsoft Outlook)

News server nickname: MS News

News server address: msnews.microsoft.com

News group name: microsoft.public.project
