Help system problem - no ADO help

[DanR]

Hi

My problem is that my help system in Access 2000 VBA doesn't show help for ADODB objects.

The ADO objects (eg connections, recordsets) work fine, appear on the pop-up lists as I type, and appear in the object browser.

They even appear in the VBA help index.

Whenever I click on one to get help though, the help window launches but stays blank.

All of the other help topics work fine.

Any suggestions to fix this??

cheers

Thanks Tim

Looks like this is the problem. The ADO help file was not in its folder. I've copied it from the CD to its correct place now, and it works when you open it directly by doubleclicking on the file.

However, ADO items that appear in the Access VBA help index or in the Object Browser still don't load.

Perhaps I need to do something to reset the help system to recognise this file as one of the places to look.

Dan,

Don't know -- if that was a question -- how to integrate the thing into A2K. I've resigned myself to using the .chm file or flipping around in a book for help with ADO. Post if you find an easy solution...

I'm still keen to find a solution to this.

Can anyone let me know, is this a universal problem with Access 2000, or do most people have the ADO help working??

cheers
