I just lost my DBpro help file from my IDE.
when I press F1 now it opens another tab in the IDE called Main. thats it.

Anyone got a link to file so I can try to replace it?

Many thanks,

Paul.

It's happened to me also and a few others on these forums. As far as I know, the only way is just a quick re-install of DBP. If you don't want to do that then you can access them via the start menu. A re-install will however allow you to use them from within DBP.

I can't even open it from the start menu.
main.htm is a blank document.

Is there anywhere online I can view the help files?

Thanks,
Paul

Attached.

Just put it in your Help folder.

This usually happens when people accidentally Save while looking at the Help page. Make sure you're looking at your dba code.

You're welcome. It's easily done and in my opinion the Save facility ought to be disabled when you're looking at the Help file - or at least prompt you to save the right thing. We'll have to wait for an editor update though.
