Missing Help Files
When I enter "recordset" as the keyword and search the Visual Basic Help index,
I get many topics of interest in the resulting list. But there isn't any
information available from clicking on many of the available topics (mostly
methods but some properties are also unavailable). This same problem occurs
with many, if not most, keywords.
Is there any way I can activate these "missing" help topics? HELP!

You don't mention your version of Access, the help files have changed quite
a bit from version to version. If you have Access 2000, this may be helpful: http://support.microsoft.com/default...roduct=acc2000

First, excuse the lack of information in my first post. I am running
Access 2000 (installed as part of Office 2000) and Windows 2000. I am
having trouble accessing many help topics using the Microsoft Visual
Basic Help.
Thanks for the reference to MS Knowledge Base Article 249065. I already
had SP-1a and SP-3 installed so I copied the five .chm files into the
proper directories as described in the "Workaround" section of the
article.
After these changes, information is available for a few more topics,
but not for many that I need to use. For example, if I select help from
the Code window, click on the Index tab and enter "recordset" as the
keyword and then click the "Search" button, I get 192 topics in the
"Choose A Topic" list box. Many of these topics have parentheses at the
end of the topic name - (ADO), (ADO Recordset), (ADO Command),
(Recordset Event), (Connection Event), (RDS). I cannot get any
information to display for any title with these parentheses.
Any more ideas?

It sounds as if the ADO help files may not be installed. I believe they come
with the MDAC update. The current one is v2.8. You should be able to find
information on downloading it at www.microsoft.com/data.

Wayne,
I went to the microsoft site and downloaded the MDAC v2.8 update (and the
inevitable security patch). While looking around the site, I found a Release
Manifest For MDAC 2.8 at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828396
There is a list of the files contained in the MDAC 2.8 release and none of them
look like help files to me.
My application is for personal use on a home computer. All data files are on my
hard drive and I am not on a local network. I am wondering if I need to install
MDAC 2.8. It doesn't seem to me that it will fix my missing help file problem
and I am not sure I need any extra features it provides.
Please correct me if, in fact, the patch does somehow generate the needed help
files (maybe one of the Java or VB Script files?) and I'll install it.
If it won't fix the missing help file problem, is there any other benefit to
installing it?
If it won't fix my problem, any other ideas where I should look for the help
files?
Missing topics include "Delete Method (ADO Recordset)", "Reset Method (RDS)",
"BOF, EOF Properties (ADO)", "Execute Method (ADO Connection)", among many
others. Does anyone know the name of the help file with these topics? I'd like
to know what I am looking for.
Thanks

It appears that the help files are in the MDAC SDK, not the driver download.

I installed the MDAC 2.8 SDK but it didn't help my problem. I still can't get
Visual Basic help on any topic with (ADO), (RDS), etc. in the topic name. I
REALLY need to access these help topics!

The information is also available at msdn.microsoft.com. I don't have Access
