Hi Mike,
There is no practicable way of recalling or altering a newsgroup message
once it has propagated beyond the server it was first posted to (which
usually happens within minutes if not seconds).
Unfortunately there is software in existence that scans these and other
newsgroups and copies any email addresses it finds, to be used for spam.
Many people (including me) use a lightly-disguised version of the real
email address in the hope of avoiding this.
As far as I know, however, this process usually takes more than the
matter of hours that seem to have been involved here; and there are
other possible causes of the messages you've been receiving.
One is another standard technique of the spammers: they take publicly
available domain names (such as memwire.com) and common names (such as
john and mike) and combine them to create *possible* email addresses,
which they then send spam to.
The "undelivered" messages are probably be in response to messages sent
by a virus or worm. This may mean that your computer has been infected
(and you should take steps to ensure that it hasn't). But if you have
good, up-to-date antivirus software, the "undelivered" messages you are
receiving are probably in response to some other computer that has
become infected and is sending out virus-carrying messages that appear
to be from you.
The messages asking you to run a .exe attachment to update your software
are (as you are probably aware) themselves infected with a new worm or
virus.
Hi John Nurick,
Thanks for replying my question in Microsoft Community
Newsgroup.
I posted my question in Malaysia yesterday evening.
Unfortunately, I bet my email address has been manipulated
by others for spam or junk mail purpose.
This morning, I received a lot of Undelivered Messages
which I've never sent out to those recipients.
I also received some mails with exe. attachment asking me
to upgrade my applications.
I think it's all to do with my email address which
released in the Community Newsgroup.
Do you have any idea to delete off my posted question?
Appreciate your further assistance.
Thanks & Rgds,
Mike

Hi Mike,
This normally means something has gone with references in
the VBA project. See

for details and how to fix it.
Dear all,
I've converted my db from 97 to 2k.
When I tried to run a Query, above mentioned message pops
up. It seems like there's no such function of Formst$
(change date format) in Access2k?
Or it's about conversion error?
Also, I can view my VB codes after conversion.
Appreciate someone to help. Thanks.
