VB Forum / Database Access / April 2006ADO270.CHM help file
Hi all... Can any one help with this one? When highlighting an ADO keyword in Access97, it displays an error "Cannot locate ADO270.CHM"...... I need a copy of ADO270.CHM (It's a help file) I already have a copy of ADO270.HXI and ADO270.HXS. I know it has been asked before, and there have been replies stating that it's part of the SDK or I can get it from Microsoft, but after exhaustive searching I have found nothing. Can anyone e-mail me this file or point me to a location where I can download it? I have ADO210.CHM and have tried renaming it to ADO270.CHM and pointing to it (via registry) but it just displays that it is an invalid help file (although I can open it directly), so if there is another way around the problem using ADO210.CHM I'm willing to try!

What you need to do is locate ADO270.CHM (which may be already on your PC but in the wrong place) and place it in the same directory as ADO21.CHM. Your help should then work. Try searching your PC first and if you still can't find it I'll see if I can email it to you (I'm at work so there are certain restrictions in place) Jan Hyde (VB MVP)  SignatureRich foods are like destiny.

So if you do have it and can e-mail it to me I would be very grateful!

(Aaron Dragushan) Jan, thank you very much for the file. It is exactly what I wanted. I'm not asking for a resolution to this as I don't think there is one! I loaded it into C:\Windows\Help folder Edited the registry to point to the correct file [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Help] "ado270.chm"="C:\\Windows\\Help" And it comes up with the same error message "The C:\WINDOWS\HELP\ado270.chm file is not a Windows Help file, or the file is corrupted." I now think I know what the problem is, Access97 references "hlp" files not "chm" files. CHM files are in a different format to HLP and Access97 is calling ado270 as an hlp file. If anyone does know a way around this I would very interested to know, maybe a registry mod for the help call for this file, but where I don't know.... Anyway... thanks for the help, really appreciated Regards Richard Lindsay "Richard Lindsay" <lindata@btinternet.com>'s wild thoughts were released on Wed, 26 Apr 2006 09:49:48 +0100 bearing the following fruit: >Jan, thank you very much for the file. > >It is exactly what I wanted. >I'm not asking for a resolution to this as I don't think there is one! >I loaded it into C:\Windows\Help folder That's all you should need to do. >Edited the registry to point to the correct file >[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Help] >"ado270.chm"="C:\\Windows\\Help" >And it comes up with the same error message "The C:\WINDOWS\HELP\ado270.chm >file is not a Windows Help file, or the file is corrupted." You shouldn't have to change any registry entries AFAIK. I've never had to, although I don't use access. >I now think I know what the problem is, Access97 references "hlp" files not >"chm" files.
