Somebody told me they heard that the Office group has set up a symbol server
for Office executables and libraries. Does any know if this is true? If it
is true, where can I go to access it? If not, is there any plan to do such
a thing?

Thanks....

Hi, Dan,

I may be wrong, but I don't think Office is among the products represented
on the symbol server. According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsdebug/html/vxtskusingasymbolserver.asp :

"Microsoft maintains a public symbol server for developers at
http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols. This server provides symbols for
various operating systems (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Windows Server 2003), MDAC, IIS, ISA, and the .NET Framework."

That page gives the syntax for connecting to the symbol server. I guess you
could just try it, and see what happens. :-)

Thanks Jay. I've been using that symbol server and I don't think it's got
Office symbols on it. Somebody told me, though, that the Office group might
have another public symbol server just for their stuff.
