[Dxbase] Vista and DXB Help

[Gary AL9A]

I'm still flailing away with my new Vista machine, but just discovered 
something interesting today that I thought I'd pass along.  This may have 
been on the reflector before and I just missed it - if so I apologize for 
the bandwidth.

I've seen posts before about the DXB help files not working under Vista. 
Info about this can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607.  The 
problem is because Microsoft has decided to stop distributing the 
WinHlp32.exe file within Windows with Vista.  It is possible to download and 
install this missing program in Vista at the above link.  Just follow the 
instructions.

I gave it a try and darned if it doesn't work!  The only problem seems to be 
a Windows Help error window that pops up whenever you open the Help file 
that says "There was a problem running the macro. (1037)".  I don't know 
what this macro is, but the only thing I find that doesn't work is the Help 
Topics button at the top of the screen.  The forward and back arrows and the 
Back button work ok.  You might need to bail out and restart Help to get to 
a new topic, but at least you can get there.
