Enabling context-sensitive help in Excel for ADO objects
Hi Folks,
This question must have been asked a million times but I have been unable to find anything online thusfar. I am writing some VBA in Excel and I have added the MS ADODB 2.8 library reference to my workbook. If I highlight MoveFirst and press F1 I get a blank help window. I was hoping to get some information about the MoveFirst method. That's just an example by the way, I'm not specifically looking for help on that method. The last time I did any VBA development was about 7 years ago and I can't recall if I had the same problem back then. I have a nagging, hazy memory that I perhaps needed MSDN help files installed but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? I know I can find MSDN help online and that's what I have been using but it would be nice to have the same information available offline. Our office does have an MSDN license so the disk(s) are available to me (subject to license restrictions). Cheers, Max |

Thanks, switching to 2.5 did the trick. No idea why but it works and that's
the main thing. I am using very simple functionality, I doubt the differences between 2.5 and 2.8 will hinder my work even though I don't know what the difference are. :) Cheers, Max " wrote: Max wrote: Hi Folks, I have added the MS ADODB 2.8 library reference to my workbook.
