Vista gives the same error message for the help file .. 
I have all the stuff downloaded to try windows 7 but i need to get some dvd cd's and back up my machine and its summer so im either out side in the garage working on my 1954 ford pickup project or riding my Harley :).,. the only time im in the shack is in the evening like now or in the am having coffee.. For a guy that doesnt have a job anymore i sure dont have much free time for computer or radio stuff hi hi..

I have tried this, and it works as far as I can see now. 
I had to start Notepad and open mycall.reg from there. Saving it in the DXBase directory will not work, so I had to save it in a document folder. I named it mycall_64.reg. From there it was a piece of cake, just doubleclick on the file and voila! 
To those confused: I use the 2006 version, not 2007. 
Thanks, Joe and Jack! 

After downloading Microsoft files to get the Help work, I still get an error message when activating Help: Problem runnung macro (1037). 
Not a big problem as long as I can use the Help-function, but still I would like to eliminate it...
