SUMMARY
=======
 
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
 
This article describes how to access the Microsoft Knowledge Base
(MSKB) forum on the CompuServe Information Service (CIS).
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The MSKB is completely menu driven. Articles are broken up into three
different groups: INF, PRB, and PRACC articles. INF articles are those
that provide "how to" procedures or advanced tips and tricks. PRB
articles contain perceived problems that are actually associated with
either incorrect use of the product or "by-design" characteristics of
the product. PRACC articles document known problems with Microsoft
Access or other products that may cause problems with Microsoft
Access, such as video drivers.
 
The text below is a sample script in which a user is searching for all
articles that are associated with PRACC articles. The >> symbol is
used in this article to point out user input.
