Helpfile viewer problem in Vista?
Helpfile viewer problem in Vista?
Hi.
When I run the helpfile in DTX I always get the "A problem with running the macro (1037)" errormessage.
I guess this is because helpfileviewer no longer is supported in Windows Vista.
Anyone know a workaround here?
Any alternate helpfile viewers around?
Didnt find any one download.com or sourceforge.net
hlap meh!

janhess - didn't I say don't get me started?
1. Companies may have policies that prohibit use of eclipse
2. don't really know but could there be version issues between the eclipse components installed with the tool and those installed for someone using eclipse for development?
3. When I installed it I needed to 'start' InfoCenter before I could use it (whats up with that? why should you have to start a service before you use a help file?)
4. If you don't install it correctly its a pain in the ...
5. Running InfoCenter requires more resources than you should need to use help files.
6. You'd think if a company wanted to add their signature style to the way help is used they'd make it easier not more difficult.
7. I'm stopping now as I'll go on forever, eventually getting back into my tirade about the goofy new interface that's so difficult to read, colors tat hurt the eyes, icons that are so small and similar looking they strain the eyes, ....... (I'm sooooooo disappoointed in the IBM changes, service, web-site yada, yada, yada we probably won't renew our service contract which is probably insignificant to IBM at just under 6 figures. It took almost a year to get the last contract right and then they didn't even prorate it.)
Will we eventually upgrade to 8? probably if I can't find a better tool. Will we scale down usage probably. will probably limit it to hipaa transactions only. I've already assigned most of the event management to a diff scheduler.
Is it still a great tool? yea, one of the best in my opinion. but not due to changes made by IBM.
So......... again I'LL TRY TO KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND BE NICE TO IBM, THEIR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS...........
grrrrrr........ I just can't stop.... and don't really understand why it bugs me so much.... normally I'd just walk away.
