Dear Group,
I've just upgraded to Access 2003 and been programming a VBA/DAO...
based application. I can't stand the new Help system. I'd much
rather have the help in a separate window so I can run it on a second
monitor. Is there any way to use the old help with the new help
files?

Thanks,
Max

I still have a desktop shortcut to my A97 Help system
(ACMAIN80.HLP)

I haven't tried it, but maybe you can do a similar thing
with your new Help system??

You might also be able to use a shortcut directly to the
appropriate .chm file??
