Hi,

originally not my thread, but my question & concern:

I have MS Access 2000 as part of MS Office 2000 Professional on W2KSP4 (all
german, if that is important). Meanwhile I selected any and all options of
the setup to install for local use, I searched all AddOns etc. on
Microsoft.com, I searched a bit in the MSKB, but still I do not get online
help for lets say the keyword "TableDefs", whereas "CurrentDb" delivers a
page with non-resolvable refernces to other places in the help system.

So: Where is it, and how can I make it available?

Many thanks in advance,
Christian Gosch
