I was referring to the post by Malke to your earlier thread.
For you I have copied it below.
There appear to be two newsgroups on msnews.microsoft.com
i.e. microsoft.public.money and microsoft.public.moneycentral
I do not know how heavily used they are.

Here's a webpage that might help:
http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/167.aspx
You might get some help in the Money newsgroup, which is
microsoft.public.money.
BTW, I believe it is MS Money, not MSN Money.
