Larry,
when I am in VB help, all of the hyperlinks, when clicked,
return the followin error "Object does'nt support this
property or method". I have re-installed MS Office and
have tried to use the stand-alone VBLR6.chm with the same
error results. Any ideas what may be causing this error?

A number of the security patches for Internet Explorer that Microsoft
has released this year are known to break the registry entries for the
HTML Help ActiveX control, which is the component that provides the
navigation facilities in the help files.

The problem is described in Knowledge Base article 822989 and, in most
cases, installing Critical Update 811630 should sort it out.

822989: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822989
811630: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811630

The exception to this is Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 installed.
In this case, you must unregister the ActiveX control and then
re-register it, by running the following two commands from a command
prompt:

regsvr32 /u <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx

There's no need to install the 811630 update in this case because SP4
will already have installed it for you.
