MS SQL Server Support

We just purchased an accounting package that uses SQL
Server 2000 as its underlying DB. All we received were 2
CDs and a person on this newsgroup explained that we
shouldn't have gotten more than that. Do we not get some
sort of free support from MS within a certain time period
if we have problems with SQL Server? I've searched the MS
web site and can only find support that costs money. Can
someone please tell me if I am entitled to any free
support from MS or is it just an "AS IS" product.
Thank you in advance for your help."Ron" <mtnlyon001@.aol.com> wrote in message

Your ISV should be willing to help you with basic stuff.
Other than that:
Congradulations, you have just found the world's only source for free
SQLServer support.
David|||There is no free support for any of the major dbs's that I know of other
than the news groups. You can get some MS support as part of other
packages such as when you subscribe to MSDN etc but other than that I think
you have to either purchase a support contract or on a one by one basis.
You should be able to ask just about anything here. If it really is a bug
then MS will refund the money for the support call. See here for more
details:

MS SQL Server Newsgroup Archives

Hi,
I'm trying to locate the archives for the public Microsoft SQL Server
newsgroups. Outlook Express seems to only go back a month or so. Does
anyone know where these archives are located and how I can access them?
Thanks.
JerryHi Jerry,
I'm pretty certain that the archives are not available through NNTP. I belie
ve that the web
front-ends go further back, though. I've listed two such web-front-ends in
http://www.karaszi.com/SQLServer/newsgroups.asp.
