Thanks Douglas,
May I asck you questione.
i have asked it many-many times....nobosy answered. Maybe it can sounds too
easy to know... but...
I have access97, access200, accessXP and access2003 all installed on my pc.
Any release is installed in its own directory.
I have always had trouble using the help file (F1 from VBE). Sometimes it
comes up in a blank windows…sometimes it shows a msg saying “no help
available on this
topic”, while “this topic” is - for instance – the adodb recordset. So
mostly of
the time it doesn’t help too much when a try to use it from the object
browser by pressing F1 (blank windows).
One of the most common inconvenient is not having any hint for ADOX. Let’s
say I want help for the ADOX columns collection. If while coding a stay with
the cursor over the word “connection” and press F1, I receive the worse help
possible: a blank windows. So I always have to ask for something more generic
(i.e. adodb connection) and then surf on the help contents for what I really
need.
I usually make a search for *.chm files and move the files I found into the
folder
1033 for having them available by the F1 command. Is this right? And...
Why I have all the ado libraries (i.e. ado 2.1, ado 2.5,…2.8 ) and just one
for adox (which is always the newer one: i.e. Microsoft ado ext. 2.8 for DDl
and security)? What if I want to code for someone that is not as updated as
me? I can reference ado 2.1 (If he has access2000 it will work fine) but I
cannot reference the previous adox versions (maybe I shouldn't).
I read many book but none spend more than few lines on how getting help.
There is any place where I could learn sometimes on how the help file is
organized and how to have any help available?
Thanks, I really appreciate.

Help in many versions of Access is a total mystery, so I'm afraid I can't
help you.
