VB help & complie problem
[573 byte] By [bobbyboy] at [2007-11-11 6:48:55] 
I had a problem getting the "help" screens to work until someone told me how to fix the problem. Now I an trying to put some commands for Excel and I get the response "Unable to display help". This is the same respone I got before the fix for VB help. Also, when I try to make an ".exe" file, I get the response "file not found: C2.EXE". I suspect I have a bad load of VB Studio. I have removed the installation and reinstalled but these problems still exist. I loaded the VB Studio in my laptop and everything works perfect. Any ideas. This is really stating to get to me.
# 1 Re: VB help & complie problem
now, what did you do to "fix the help"? and what was the help problem, to start with? Which help are you using, the "old" one or the html? And, more important of all, what did you do in that computer after fixing that problem? Did you install something else?c2.exe is the vb compiler, and it should be in the same folder as vb6.exe

When I tried to use HELP in VB6, I got the message "Unable to display help". To fix this, someone told me to find the file "vshelp.dll" which I did. I then clicked START/RUN. I typed in regsvr32 and dragged the vshelp.dll to the end of the regsvr32 entry. The program executed and now that was fixed. I susoect there is a similiar file for VB6 help when writing code to execute with Excel but I don't know the file name. I looked for the C2.exe file and didn't see it. I will copy it from my laptop that is in my network.bobbyboy at 2007-11-11 17:28:50 >

Marco,I reinstalled vb6 and the C2.exe file was loaded! I don't know why it didn't load when vb6 was installed. I am using SP6.
