Pretty much what the title says, when I open the main.htm help file in the editor, I can't click any of the buttons but when I open them with my web browser it does work.

My computer surpasses all the technologies of the day. What computer do I have?

I think someone reported a similar problem not long ago but I don't recall what the solution was.

Has this only just started happening - or have you only just discovered the Help files ?

Edit Just done a search for main and these popped up:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=174738&b=1

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=170070&b=1

The first link refers to a bug. Could that be your problem?

No, that's not what I mean. I have been using my help file ever since I got dbpro. Just recently (1-2 weeks ago) in the editor the main help file page shows up but I can't click any of the links. But if I open the help file in my internet browser I can click the links.

Hello Madscientist,

I know what you mean. The same thing happened to me. My help file went to 0KB and the file chane date was 12/31/10 at `11:38 PM... Well I hadn't even used my laptop that day, and I was doing the New Year's thing with family...I read the bug posts and downloaded a new main.htm to replace mine. When I opened the help file in Synergy editor the links were broken, just like yours. Here is how if ixed it:

I am using Windows 7, and I am able to revert back to a previous file version. So, I replaced my broken main.htm with one saved from 12/9/10. Everything is working fine now. I assume the link issue is an adminstrator permissions issue thing, I guess... I don't know, but that fixed it for me.
