hello,

um, mr microsoft? could you, like, open a new forum in your usenet
namespace? we .NET developers who use Crystal Reports really need a
central location for swapping tips & making trouble-shooting inquiries.
i know there is an official Business Objects website w/ a .NET forum
(near dead), as well as 3rd-party newsgroups (cant access from our
office), but nothing that is as universal as this namespace -- and as
well populated.

so how about it? please? w/ sugar & a cherry on top?

meanwhile you can create your own group using google groups or something
like that.

i could, but thats not really a very good solution imo. there are
already a dozen or more random places where devs can go to try to find
answers. adding another only splinters our efforts further. it would be
far more advatageous for microsoft .NET developers if there was a
central, accessible, location for .NET + CR discussion. judging by how
successful these forums are, this would be on the top of the list.

side note, the second best may be www.asp.net/forums. but the dev
support there is more limited compared to what i see in these groups.
