help on adodb

[Sean]

Hello all,

I'm desperately trying to find the online help for ADODB. I've tried
the following on three different computers. Two of them only have
Access2000 loaded on them. The third had access2000 and visual
studio.net.

I open the object browser from inside the VB editor in Access. I click
on the ADODB project/library. I then right click on any class (command
and recordset most recently). I right click on the selection and
select help. It pulls up a windows help screen that is completely
grey. No info is in it.

Can someone please tell me where to find the help files for the ADODB
class?

On my system it's at

C:\Office\2K\Office\1033\ACADP9.CHM

but your setup may vary a bit. Use filesearch to list all the .chm files
and find the one called acadp9 (or acadp10, etc)

Stupid me: it's actually at

C:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\ADO\ADO210.CHM

On my XP laptop, it seems to be something like

c:\program Files\ Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
Office10\1033\ado210.chm


but the rest of the advice would have got you to the right file in the
end... (sorry: I keep shortcuts to these things on the desktop and picked
the wrong one to begin with).

Well crap. I have no ado210.chm file anywhere on my machine. I don't
have any chm files in the program files\common files\system\ado
directory.

Does anyone know if access2k is supposed to install those files? Or do
they come from another program?

TIA
