Help never goes to MSDN

I have VS 2k2 installed with help set to external collection (MSDN April
04).
Always when I press F1 in the IDE it goes to the Combined collection and I
cannot find out how to fix it.
Any ideas appreciated.

Cheers

Hi John,

This isn't a fix to your problem, but I found the F1 help to be too slow. Whenever I need to check something I open the MSDN manually and keep it open. Whenever I need to check new things I go to MSDN and look it up manually.

Happy coding!

Thanks Morten
Thats what I do now but I am so used to F1 at work that I automatically hit
F1 and then realise that I need to open it up manually :)

I'm not sure if this will fix it (I'm unable to test it out), but it's worth
trying.

Open VS.NET
Click Tools - Options
Change your Preferred collection

Good luck!
