Help Error

[MFAT]

Since applying Windows 2000 SP4, the "see also" links in Excel Help do not
work.
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
javascript:hhobj_1.Click()

Any way to fix?

Try reregistering hhctrl.ocx. To do this, click start / run and type:
"REGSVR32 C:\Winnt\System32\hhctrl.ocx"

You may also wish to check that activex controls are allowed to run in the
Local Computer zone.

Tried reregistering the hhctrl.ocx - no effect
Set all the IE security zones to Low - no effect
doesn't anyoneone else have this problem?

It looks like Windows 2000 SP4 may have just been fixing a security hole.
I think Excel 2000 Help is using an unsigned activeX control for the "see
also" links, and one of our Group Policies disallows unsigned activeX
controls.
The combination of Windows 2000 SP4 and Excel 2000 works fine on a
standalone machine where there is no policy applied.

So the fault is not really with Windows 2000 SP4, but with Excel 2000's
Help.
Maybe Office 2000 SP4 will one day fix it!.
