I found that my hosting service includes a free message board capability (phpbb). It took a couple of days of stops and starts but I think I'm good to go now. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

I've just set up a newsgroup server with SmartNewZ using the trial edition - dead easy to set up - look at the newsgroups on jeffcook.dynalias.net. Question - how can I programmatically start the default newsreader and point it at the appropriate group? If it is too hard, I probably won't bother - not convinced that a newsgroup is an appropriate support tool for our users anyway!

First problem - most people's default newsreader will be OE which doesn't have any automation. You can find the default newsreader - I think the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\News so that will give you the program to start. How you then get it to look at a specific newsserver/newsgroup I have no idea, and it probably differs from reader to reader. You'd probably be better off building the reader into your app - I can let you have a wadge of source if you want. Roy Lambert |

Coding:- procedure TmainForm.mnuNewsClick(Sender: TObject); begin ShellExecute(Application.MainForm.Handle, 'open', 'news://jeffcook.dynalias.net/apm.discussion', '', '', SW_SHOW) end; was ridiculously easy. Of course, as Roy said it started the default newsreader and in my case that was OE - even though I use Roy's TMaN myself. Thank for the offer of the code Roy - it strikes me as something fun to add to my application when time permits, but at the moment I have literally 111 requests for changes/enhancements/bugfixes(!) to look forward to, so this is definitely back burner stuff.
