Q: Help with Help

[MarkD]

Using MSAccess 2000 on Win2k

Access help is acting strangely.

If I select a property/method in my code and hit {F1}, the
help file opens to a grey screen. If I try to hit {F1}
again, I get "No Help Available"

If I open up the help screen from the menu and select a
particular command from the index list, I can't see any of
the hyperlinks (usually there will be a link
to "examples", "methods", "notes", etc.)

Basically, Help is corrupted. I tried reinstalling it
twice, but still have the same problems.

What gives?

Thanks,
-Mark

Mark,

Your problem seems to be the same one I had (same Win and
Office combination), and took me months (of headache) to
figure out...
It's wasn't Access, it wasn't Office, it wasn't even
Windows... It was Internet Explorer! Although the Explorer
itself seemed to be OK when browsing the web, no link
worked anywhere in Windows or Office help (which run in
IE). My problem was solved when I re-installed IE. Try it!
