I apparently don't have DAO help info installed, but neither can I see how to install it from my original Office 2000 CD. How can I get this installed and from where

Thanks for the reply. By re-installing I assume you mean to select the "Add or Remove Features" choice when the CD runs and then for Access select "Run all from my computer". When I try this nothing further seems to install. I still can't get help info to come up for DAO-related items. I've also told it to go ahead and Repair when it asks if I want to do this, but again nothing further seems to install
Any other ideas

Just what is it you are trying to get Help on? It sounds like you may have
it installed OK, but just can't find the topic you need.

If I hit F1 on any reserved word that refers to a DAO object, I get an error message saying help is not installed for this
e.g. rs.FindFirst " ... " or If rs.NoMatch Then
If I go into the help index and type in DAO, none of the subjects it comes up with for DAO, and there are many, will give me anything if I double-click on them. It is not giving me anything at all on DAO

Sometimes the help file seems to disappear or doesn't get installed.
I found that out at one company. They couldn't find the file any
where. I ended up finding it in an office service pack or an MDAC
service pack. Service Pack 3 seems to ring a bell for me.
I can find the files in the following locations:
FILE: DAO360.CHM
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office10\1033
FILE: DAO351.CHM
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033
FILE: DAOSDK.CHM
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033
FILE: DAO351.CHM
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ODETools\V9\MSDN\DNMOD\1033
FILE: DAOSDK.CHM
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ODETools\V9\MSDN\DNMOD\1033
If I remember correctly, my specific problem was with ADO as opposed
to DAO. It had a 210 number in the name at the time.
You should be able to find it when you extract one of the MDAC
packages:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=239114
You'll need to run the file from the command line and add the
following switches:
mdac.exe /c /t:<drive>:<pathtoextractto>
HTH.
Good luck.

It's not going to hurt anything at all. You'll need to register the .chm
now.
Basically the idea behind the registration is the way that different progs
that are run in Windows, that might reference that file, need to know
where to find that file. Doing a search through my registry, I'm finding
multiple keys. Some are in the CLASSES_ROOT key, and one in
particular that comes to mind for me is:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help
"HKLM" means HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
The subkey here is defined as follows:
type: REG_SZ (normal string)
name: dao360.chm
contents:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office10\1033\
And then there's another key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\
Installer\Components\71CE92CC2CB71D119A12000A9CE1A22A
The subkey is defined as follows:
type: REG_MULTI_SZ
name: 1033\dao360.chm
The contents of that subkey is...
C84DVn-}f(YR]eAR6.jiVBAHelpFiles>!V1Z3_Aaq@~+)dq.m0mh
Pm7J7O7pf(WXBefPB7^,ProductNonBootFiles>0fCo)=Lnf(E4*L[xeX)y
That's a lot of garbage. I am only guessing now. That key is telling VBA
where
to find that file. So when you press the F1 key on some DAO reference
inside of VBA, VBA knows where to grab the file from. I'm not sure why it's
all encrypted like that. I'm running on an XP machine right. That key is
defined as REG_MULTI_SZ, which I'm thinking means multi-lined string
typedef. SZ means it's a null terminated string I think (string zero)???
If you have those two keys in place, you should be all set and ready
to go I'm thinking.
Hope that helps.

Those strange strings are associated with the file protection service, which
is linked to the installer service.
Any information or references that you can find would be welcome!
I found that I could not effectively change the MsAccess.exe OLE 'server'
entry except by deleting the REG_MULTI_SZ entry: With the REG_MULTI_SZ
entry in place, the actual OLE 'server' entry was ignored (corrected??).
Since our internal business process requires changing the registry entry for
the Access.Application object, we had to delete the REG_MULTI_SZ entry for
it. It all works ok, but it bugs me that I don't understand what I did.
