| 241230 | 2004-06-03 09:12:00 | Hi Tony, you seemed to have tried everything else so downloadRegsvr32.exe (support.microsoft.com) to manuallyregister components. Im not sure if you can register a chm file as Ive only used this with dll/ocx files. Perhaps look for a dll/ocx with ado in its name if registering the chm doesnt work. Ive got Access 2002 but these are my hits in the reg when searching for ado210.chm.

| 241231 | 2004-06-03 22:58:00 | Well, waddyaknow! :D Parry, I applied the registry changes you listed - modified for my environment, and now it nearly all works! I certainly get access (ha ha) to ADO-type references when using index search on VBA Help. What I don't get is context-sensitive help if I F1 on an ADO keyword in the actual code. Then I still get the blank help window - but I can live with that. I'm picking that the key registry entry was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...SHARED DLLS etc. I couldn't get regsvr32 to do it for me. I just got "the specified module could not be found" - however I structured it. Thanks everyone for their contributions - any other ideas would still be welcome. Tony Bacon |

| 241232 | 2004-06-04 00:16:00 | Hi Tony, glad your making progress. :-) I believe that error is because you either havent navigated to the folder that contains the regsvr32 file before using the exe or you have entered the incorrect path for the target. I see there is an ADO Aw (Answer wizard) file - try registering that one. Presuming you stored the regsvr32 file in C:\Downloads and the target file is ADO210.AW eg CD c: CD C:\Downloads Regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\ADO210.AW" |

| 241233 | 2004-06-04 04:34:00 | Hi Parry, Good news and bad news. Regsvr32 definitely doesn't do it. I must have had a path wrong before but this time I got "ADO210.AW is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this type." Same for ADO210.CHM. However I made sure the .AW file was in the same folder as the CHM, and things seem to be working, albeit a bit flakily. I think I am at the stage where near enough is good enough. If I discover anything else I'll post again. Thanks for all your help. Tony Bacon |
