Odd problem with Visual Studio documentation

Good morning all,

I have a weird problem with my VS 2005 Documentation. When I open the
help file through Start -Visual Studion 2005 ->Visual Studio 2005
Documentation, I get what appears to be the VS 2005 help. The title
bar shows 'Search - Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Documentation -
Microsoft Document Explorer'

However, if I select either Contents or Index, and click on the
Filtered by drop-down, every item listed is SQL Server related.

Any ideas, references, resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kathryn

Under the <Searchtab, do you have a dropdown box for Technology?
Is everything checked under that dropdown box?

The only thing I can think of is you didn't install all
of the documentation.

Robin,

yep, that's what i guess it must be, though I swear I installed it....
Don't know why I have the option for Visual Studio documentation on the
Start menu,either.

Oh well, just another great mystery of life! ;-)

Thanks for your help,
Kathryn

I think they always put the VS documentation on the menu.
I like having the documentation option available.
Sometimes I want to open it up and look something up,
and don't have VS open, or don't want to open it.
Good luck.
