Good for you guys. I hardly even bother phoning for support anymore.

True. Also visit the knowledge base at www.microsoft.com/kb. That's
the first place I always look when I get a question. Also try
www.dejanews.com as they archive the last 2 or 3 months worth of
newsgroups. By going into advanced queries you can tighten your search
down to a specific newsgroup or group of newsgroups. A few other search
engines also archive the newsgroups. Also visit some of the Access tips
pages. I maintain links to Access related sites although it's by no
means comprehensive. However those other sites I'm linked to will cover
all available sites. See www.granite.ab.ca as a starting point.
I also use the Free Agent offline newsgroup reader and I save all the
messages I think may be of interest to me in the future. For example
performance related, etc, etc.
