Where is my question

[Ash]

I have a problem tracking down the answers for the questions I posted. I
know the well talentd and knowledgeable Excel community people answers
our questions on time. Is there any easier way to pin point where my
email lies at a certain point or is there any way to sort questions
posted in this board? A day after I post, I have to kind of go down the
list to see my quetion and the appropriate answer.

Your newsreader should have procedures where you can configure the program
to mark and automatically highlight and/or find messages created by you or
answers to your messages.

I use Outlook Express because it comes free with Windows, and I can create
views where I just click on find my messages and replies to them.

Just take some time and learn your newsreader program.

You can also search in the Google newsgroup archives:

http://groups.google.ca/advanced_gro...q=group:*excel

Enter your name as the author, and you should find your questions.

FYI, my experience has been that Google Groups advanced search is
unreliable. It frequently fails to find articles that I know I posted.
I find them later by exhaustive manual search. The articles it fails
to find might be as recent as yesterday as well as very old postings.
(The latter is not surprising. The former is.) I always choose to
list results by date, and I select a large value for the number of
results. I have had the same unreliable results whether I search a
specific newsgroup or a set of newsgroups (using the "*" wildcard).

In response to a suggestion, I wrote that Google Advanced Search is
unreliable. Well, I just discovered that the My Profile link in the
upper left on the Google Groups page (after signin in) seems to provide
a pretty good history of my posting, at least so far as I remember
them. For example, I found this thread again very easily. If you are
not familiar with Google Groups, open your web browser and go to
groups.google.com. Of course, there is much to dislike about the
Google Groups user interface. Y'win some, y'lose some.
