I am still using the 7.3 upgrade and the u73 editor. If I try to use the help files they show up like this



This also happens in the code surge editor. If I go back to the old style editor the help files work fine. I use the help files quite a bit to reference commands. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

Sounds like you have messed up your internet explorer settings somehow, and associated htm files as plain text. Try resetting your IE settings, or reinstall IE.

I suspect it's more likely that an editor/compiler/launcher/registry setting has got fouled up somewhere. You could try moving all the editor related files safely out of the way and then installing the latest version of DBPro.

Don't blame me if this suggestion fouls everything up ...

That sounds right but I use Firefox and haven't had to do anything like this in a long time and am not sure how. I have been in the tools/options menu but can't find any way to do it!

Is the problem solely in the editors or does it also happen just double clicking .html files? If you double click a .html file, and it opens up in notepad or whatever, it's file association that's messed up. Go to your control panel or whatever, and change file associations (google w/ your corresponding OS to find out how, or just poke around).

but... if double clicking an html file opens up a browser, then ignore mah post

OK Haven't been around the past few days. I own a trucking business, 1 truck and I drive it. Been getting home to late to really start anything!

Yes htm and html files will open a browser but with code surge, the new DBP editor or the old editor all I get is the html code.

So! No one can figure this out? I can't either.
