Hi Loretta, Thanks for informing us about Google Alerts! I have successfully created an alert, or so I have been informed! There is, by the way an option to discontinue an alert which I had wondered about. There is quite comprehensive info when you click on the link which we were kindly given by you. One question, and it has to do with filling in forms online? What is the procedure for having for example the Google toolbar fill in the requested email address? I filled in mine by typing it in. All the best, Tony Sweeney. ----- Original Message ----- From: Loretta Conaty To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:11 AM Subject: [vip_students] Google Alerts Hi All, I am at the moment interested in a certain topic so I created a Google Alert which sends an e-mail into my In Box once a day.
