Help with Access Help

[HenryAnthony]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this in Access 2000 Visual Basic Help. After typing "QueryDef" (and other key words) a long list of topics appears but very few, mainly at the bottom of the list, actually link to anything. I assume this is the result of some error or conflict local to our network, or is it something else.

Thanks,

Henry

is it something else

Personally I feel that Help was much better organised in Access 97 and I've kept Access 97 on this PC for that reason. I have to hit the 2000 help for topics specific to Access 2000 but I do find Access 97 easier to use.

Hi Geoff,

I TOTALLY agree. I just fired up my old NT box just to use the help in '97. I actually still have the manuals from 2.0 that I sometimes refer to as well.

Why not playing with the Object Browser (F2) as a front end for the VBA help engine ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

I will have to research that one. It is not apparent to me how to get help through the Object Browser. Probably just my inexperience.

Figured out how to get help with the object browser but get an error that the feature is not functioning properly. I think there is something wrong with my installation. I will take it up with the admin folks.
