Joe is right, Scot...that's one of the reasons you HAVE to have OE installed to run Outlook...there's just some stuff Outlook can't do..and newsgroups is one of them. However, if you don't want to use OE, Dian turned me onto a very nice newsreader called Agent...and there's a free version...it is WAY better than OE: http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php Linda F.

You have to use Outlook express or some other News reader.
