OK, Here goes with my third request today!!
 
Since installing the ISTS patches a couple weeks ago, I can't get into the help screens in either Evo or Classic.  More accurately, I can get to help, but I can't create a seach database so unless I know exactly where to go in the help document, I could spend days looking for answers!
 
When it tries to create the index, it tells me "Unable to display the find tab (177)".  Any suggestions?

Look in DBAMFG for DBAHELP.*, making sure your Explorer is set to show system and hidden files.  Keep DBAHELP.HLP and DBAHELP.CNT but delete any others - probably DBAHELP.GID and DBAHELP.FTS (I think).  Then open Help again and it should recreate the system files you just deleted and be OK.

Lyyn-
 
Those ARE the only two DBAHELP.* files in the directory.  I do also have a DBAHLPID.B file and all three are dated 6-18-05.

Double check your Explorer settings to show system and hidden files - it is the DBAHELP.GID and/or DBAHELP.FTS that are messing you up.  You need to delete them so the program can make new ones.
