If you have a programming obstacle using the API,

That's the problem with people getting all wound up about how
questions are asked and where. People keep bitching because
questions aren't asked expertly. If I were an expert I wouldn't be
asking questions on issues other people think are easy.

You're right, of course. Sometimes people get a little short and
although they give a good direction they fail to follow up with what you
need to do with them. Other are vague on purpose and figure you should
figure it out; quite rudely IMO.
Checking the Event Viewer usually means to look there for Errors that
may indicate where a problem might be coming from; whatever the reason,
it should have been explained.
Either ask for clarification when that happens, explain your level of
expertise, or just go on and ignore the post and look for one that makes
sense. It takes a thicker skin to use the newsgroups and complaining
does nothing but give them reason to continue with their egotistical
responses.


How the @#$%^&^@#$% do I know if I have a "programming obstacle using
the API?"

Someone suggested I look at Event Viewer. In Event Viewer I saw that
IMAPI turned on then turned off. I went on and observed other IMAPI
behaviors. Normal or abnormal? How should I know? I ask questions -
however I can.

I haven't followed every post of this thread so I don't recall your
original question but it seems to have changed somewhere along the line
anyway; otherwise I'd take a stab at it. All I can leave you with at
the moment is that even though it has Microsoft in the name, these
groups are not access to Microsoft people. The folk here are just users
like you and I, hopefully sharing their knowledge and experience with
others. And lastlyu it's very important to describe a problem or
question as fully as possible as much as you can, wherever you ask
questions. And lastly: Here's a link with hints on that sort of thing:
