I've loaded 2007 Office onto a computer, but want to continue with 2003
sometimes on this machine. However the VBA Help files for 2003 are no longer
complete. Any suggestions?
 
Yes, I saw this too.

The help did not go all at once. Seemed like it was only after I re-enabled
the on-line office help in 2007. And sometimes it is back again.

I don't know of a resolution for you. Perhaps you could try uninstalling
Office 2007, and see it that helps. Haven't tried it.

I guess we were foolish for installing beta software on a computer where it
matters.
 
I believe this is arises from a (very longstanding) deficiency in MS
Help. It frequently "bites" Access users because (for various reasons)
we often want to keep more than one version of the program available.
Basically, it appears that MS Help "registers" the location of a
program's help file when the program in installed, but it seems as if
it tags the "registration" only with the _name_ of the base program,
ignoring any version information. Consequently, when you install an
new version of Access, you tell MSHELP to look at its Help files when
"Access" calls for Help. This causes confusion if an older version of
Access subsequenlty calls for Help.
