I am, unfortunately, not a programmer but can follow most code examples when provided. What I am surprised about (and thus, in search of), is a way to search MS Outlook Express 6 Usenet message headers for a specific IP address, when entered and searched for. The basic 4 fields which MS provides is simply not sufficient. Is there a way to do this in VB code, maybe as an add-on? Has this been accomplished by someone? I can't seem to locate it despite extensive searching on google.com, Altavista.com and a number of other S/Es and directory engines. Any VB tools which may have been created for this purpose, or are easily modified to complete this task, would be greatly appreciated. NOTE: This is not for a client, it for my own personal use in the office, when trying to search down people responding to a message who may be attempting to hide their true identity from their past history in the newsgroup. Google's www.dejanews.com does not appear to search headers of the messages for IP or resolved names, from usenet messages. At least not from my past experience. Thanks in advance to all offers of assistance. :confused: Gil Tennant Project Manager WebWham
