Hi!, I have some problems with opening the "Related Topics" or other hypertext links in VBA help. See attachment for message that appears. Any idea of how to deal with this problem? Som .dll misssing or what?


Thanks to all,
Gert

Try doing an Office repair.

Under Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs

Find your version of microsoft office, click on the support information link, then click Repair.

Thanks Tom,
I tried, but it does not help. Thats why I fear some Win XP missing dll or similar. It used to work, so I must intent perhsaps install/repair Windows ...lets see.

Did you try uninstalling MSO and reinstalling it? Sometimes the repair function doesn't catch the little things.

That would be my next step, maybe.
 
Hi Tom,
I tried, but no change... The problem seems to be related to javascrit and hhobj. Also I looked at the source of the help pages. Here is one part ref to the upperpart of the page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252">
<TITLE>Date Format Constants</TITLE>
<style>@import url(office.css);</style>
<link disabled rel="stylesheet" href="msoffice.css"></HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">

<TABLE ALIGN=right WIDTH=0 BORDER=0><TR><TD>
<OBJECT ID="hhobj_3" TYPE="application/x-oleobject" CLASSID="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<PARAM NAME="Command" VALUE="ALink">
<PARAM NAME="Item1" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="Item2" VALUE="deftypelibrary">
</OBJECT>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
If the page has i.e links in its upper part, these are now showed as a small square. I have noted that the script ....CLASSID=".... refers to these squars, which should when workin properly, show a link to some function, usually examples etc.
Well, I just tell this "just in case", perhaps I need to re-install all windows and the rest.
Regards, Gert
 
Might've anything changed within your registry? Your classid info is stored there - if it got screwed up somehow, that may be a source of the problem. If you have access to a good registry tool like Norton Utilities, sometimes those problems can be fixed.
