Where to get DAO (or ADO) help files?

L

Les Russell

I have Access 2000 and am trying to get back into some programming. However there is no help installed for DAO (or ADO), even though I have installed all MS Access and VBA help. There is no help, for example, on the Recordset object. Where can I get these help files? Are they supposed to come with Access 2000? If not, where can I get them?

A couple of possibilities.

The help files you mention are only available from the code editor window.
You can't get to them from the Access window.

There was a bug with installing some of the help files. This article should
walk you through the problem.

Thanks Wayne, the workaround section of the article worked for me.

Btw, the DAO 3.6 help is available from the Access help menu, but not the VB help menu (in our installation anyway).
