parts of help missing

[Peter J. Veger]

Office 2003 Pro on WinXPPro, extensive uptodate system installed 1 month
ago.

When I put the cursor just before an item in Access code (e.g. before the
word "For"), I get a popup window with help info (in the example, for the
For statement).
When I put the curstor before the word "Recordset", I get help info about
the Recordset prperty
When I put the cursor before Fields in "rst.Fields" I get a blank popup.
The same for WriteLine in a text stream.

It looks like part of the references missing..
What is wrong? What to do?

Peter,
A2003... I've noticed that if my code fails during run time, the Help
button displayed in the error dialog box opens up a "blank" Help window.
(ex. R/T error 2001-"Operation already cancelled"... and others)

I don't like to "talk down" Access. I make my living with it... BUT...

Generally speaking... I find the 2003 Help system pretty poor. The
"online" aspect is a pain (I have it defeated), and highlighting a keyword
(like a function) and hitting F1 often returns non-specific Help topics.

Let me put it another way. Often... if I'm running A2003, and I need
"meaningful" Help on a subject, I've found myself opening A97 and use that
Help system! That statement pretty much says it all...
