I have a standard installation of Office2000 with all updates. Objct library
is compatibility 2.5/3.51. The help function does not work properly. Two
examples: Using F1 on several keys results in the nessage that dao35.hlp is
missing
The HELP does recognize the word DAO but refuses to act on any of its
references

What should I do?
 
The DAO 2.x/3.x Compatibility Library was designed to allow old DAO 2.x
(Access 2 vintage) code to continue to work with DAO 3.0 (Access 95) and DAO
3.5x (Access 97). It was not designed for use with Access 2000 and later,
which use DAO 3.6. If you are converting an old Access 95 or Access 97 app
to a later version of Access, you need to remove the DAO 2.x/3.x reference
and replace it with a reference to the appropriate version of DO for the
version of Access you are using (3.0 for Access 95, 3.51 for Access 97, 3.6
for Access 2000). Attempt to compile, and the IDE will identify any lines of
code that need modification.

There are only a few changes. The changes most commonly encountered in most
applications are that the BeginTrans, CommitTrans and Rollback methods are
now methods of the Workspace object instead of the Database object, and you
can no longer refer to fields of a recordset using dot syntax, e.g.
MyRecordset.SomeField, you have to use bang syntax, e.g.
MyRecordset!SomeField, or parentheses, e.g. MyRecordset("SomeField").
 
<quote>
and replace it with a reference to the appropriate version of DO for the
</quote>

Or DAO, even! :-)

Thanks. I changed the references BUT when I use F1 to look for Help it
sometimes opens with a blank page (seems to be in the places where it earlier
requested da035.hlp). How do I install a proper version of Help? I have tried
reinstalling from the Office200 CD + all recommended updates.

To be more specific. Searching for ADO or DAO in Help gives me a list of
possible entries but clicking them does not result in any Help text at all.
My native language used with Windows is Swedish but as information texts in
Help normally appear in English this should not cause any trouble. The
following refences are used
Visual B for Appl
MS Access 9.0 Object Libr
Utiliy
OLE Automation
MS Visual B for Appl Extensibility 5.3
MS DAO 3.6 Object Libr

Have I missed something?

Thanks a lot. It worked perfectly. Although there are some minor faults in
the article quoted. The jet*.chm files are located in sublibray 1053 (not
1033) and transfer accordingly
 
I think those numbered subfolders are language specific, perhaps that
explains the difference. Regardless, it's good to know that it worked for
you.
