ALL: I have been trying to help W0VB (Terry) with his not being able to get the HELP FILES to work on his Windows 7 64bit machine..
I linked up with him via TeamViewer and made sure that the Winhlp32.exe was installed all ok -- and he did not have the ENABLE MACROS setup yet -- so, we did the install of that .. NOW - normally, after doing both of these actions, the HELP FILES work beautifully.. BUT - in this case, NADA!!!! Tried and tried many things - but still nothing of the Help Files appearing at all .. Then - today - I played with my own Windows 7 64bit machine to see WHAT file(s) might be created by the user going into the HELP / Help Topics.. Sure enough - a file named as: Dxb2007.GID was created ... looking at the Internet for what the heck is a GID file -- I found it is a Windows Global Index file. So, I closed DXbase2007 and deleted the current Dxb2007.GID file -- then opened DXbase2007 back up and went to the Help/ Help Topics -- and once again a NEW Dxb2007.GID file was created .. SO - as a shot-in-the-dark, I sent an email to W0VB (Terry) telling him about THAT file -- and was BLOWN AWAY when he answered back that once he delete the Dxb2007.GID file -- and opened DXbase2007 again -- then went to the Help / Help Topics --- VOILA !!! He HAS the HELP FILES all ok ... I send this info out to all - just in case you HAVE installed the Winhlp32.exe file and also have successfully ENABLED MACROS -- but, you still can not get the Help files to come up -- try the above!!!!! 73 Joe wa6axe ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
