D2007 the help is actually quite good and comprehensive, still prefer the speed and layout of the earlier help, eg D5. The MS Document Explorer (used for the D2006/D2007 help) is glacially slow to load and search - it means in practice you don't dare press F1 on a component to bring up the help as there will be a 30 second non-responding delay while the help loads..... The good news is you can load the earlier help in the Utilities menu: (if you have Vista you will need to copy on a version of WINHLP32.EXE) eg an example - you can modify for other versions of Delphi as I don't have D7. Tools/Configure: Title: Delphi 5 Help Program: WINHLP32 Working Dir: C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi5\Help Parameters: C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi5\Help\Delphi5.hlp and... Title: Delphi5 Win32SDK Program: WINHLP32 Working Dir: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp Parameters: win32.hlp

I have to close the file and open again and then it works for a while. Is there a fix in sight? Also the help is a pest compared to d7 help. Is there a better way than using the old help files? thanks sigi _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe
