I had a question about how HtmlHelpA in Hhctrl.ocx tries to search for a
help file.
Here is why:
I am trying to load the help files for different versions of access and
excel. I have Access 2000 which installs its help files under C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033\
I understand that the 1033 has to do with the language settings, so for a
different language system, the help would be under C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\<some other number>\
If I use htmlHelpA and give it the path C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE\VBAXL9.CHM, it somehow knows to look for that language number
and can find the file correctly without me having to do any kind of path
fixups. This works great.
On the same machine, I have Excel 2003 installed. Its help files are under
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033
But if I use HtmlHelpA and give it the path as C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\VBAXL10.CHM, it can't find the file. So my question is, how
does this function fixup the path in one case, and not there other?
I don't want to try and do the fixup manually since it seems like under the
"right" conditions, this function will do it automagically.
any insights appreciated. Thanks all
