In Evo you can click Help - Web Help or manually go to http://www.evoerp.com/webhelp/evohelp.htm but that doesn't work with the F1 from within the programs. I just downloaded the Microsoft update for Windows 7 help files and it works if I am loading Evo on a local station and the HLP file is on the local drive, but not across the network as far as I can tell.

Install winhelp32.exe from Microsoft. at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=166421

the enter the following registry entries.:
Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp]
"AllowProgrammaticMacros" =dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp]
"AllowIntranetAccess" =dword:00000001

(Copy the code to a .reg file and run from CMD as regedit {filename}.reg)

This will allow help to work by pressing F1 on Windows 7 with EVO and DBA. the file can stay on the server.

Hi Tim

I have tried what you suggested but I have a problem running the regedit on the XXXX.reg file I created. I have never done this before so I may be doing something wrong.
I cut and pasted into notepad the code you offered. I saved the file as help.reg on c:\. I then go to RUN and type in regedit help.reg. I then get a couple of warnings and say ok to run. Then I get an error " cannot import help.reg:The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files within the registry editor"
Is there a way and proper location to do this manually?

Thanks,
