Crosspost. NEVER multipost. Crossposting works just like sending email
to several people at once. Instead of people, they're groups.

On the newsgroup line, it should say something like...

Group1;Group2;Group3

If you send them all at once instead of one at a time, all answers from
all groups in the list will show in all groups in the list.

If you send them one at a time, there will be a separate set of answers
in each group. That's not good for anyone.

It forces you to visit multiple groups looking for answers and it causes
the people answering questions to spend time answering when someone else
has already answered in another group.

Ask as many questions as you like but try to make it easy for everyone
at the same time.

Read rules 3 and 4 here.... http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm#Asking

You can easily get the question to show in multiple groups without
posting to each separately.
