Some Access VB Help not working

[jimt]

I'm using XP-Pro and Access 2000 and have Office SP3 installed. I recently
installed MS Script Editor and I'm not sure if that was the cause; but,
recently the majority of the Access VB help topics do not link to the topic.
I haven't identified the trend; but, it may be topics related to Active-X,
ADO...

For Example these help topics do not work
-----------------------------------------------
Collections Collection
ActiveConnection Property
Connection Object (ADO)
Connect Property

However this works
-----------------------
Connection Property

I tried to reinstall the Access help from CD (think it's SP1). Also tried
the repair option. Any suggestions short of remove/reinstall on how to get
the help back?

Thanks

Solved (at least most of it). I discovered the CD directory structiure
somewhat mirrors the program files (& windows) directories on the hard drive.
Tedious but using windows explorer, stepping through the CD directories for
..chm files and copy any missing help files to the equivalent directory on the
hard drive.

I have the same problem with Access 2000. ADO is affected, I believe RDO(?)
as well, as well as some others. I've tried Detect And Repair and even
reinstalling Office and nothing does the trick. Very strange, as I did not
have these problems before with Access 2000 at my old job. I'm going to
*ASSUME* it's the service pack that's causing the issues, because I never had
access to SP3 at my last job. I'll look on Microsoft's bug site to see if
this is on there as well. (If not I'll probably report it.)
