I would guess its the related to this issue for v6.1 and v8.

PROBLEM:
After applying service pack 1 for windows 2003, or certain hotfixes from
Microsoft, Vantage/Vista help will no longer work. Instead of the help
content you get "Action Cancelled"

RESOLUTION:

You have to explicitly allow for remote html execution via the registry.

Modify the ItssRestrictions registry entry to enable a specific security
zone Warning Enable only those security zones that you trust. Do not enable
security zones about which you are not sure.

To modify the ItssRestrictions registry entry to enable a specific security
zone, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions

Note If this registry subkey does not exist, create it. To do this, follow
these steps:

a. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.

b. Type ItssRestrictions, and then press ENTER.

3. Right-click the ItssRestrictions subkey, point to New, and then

click DWORD Value.

4. Type MaxAllowedZone, and then press ENTER.

5. Right-click the MaxAllowedZone value, and then click Modify.

6. In the Value data box, type a number from 0 and 4, and then

click OK.

7. Quit Registry Editor.

Note By default, the MaxAllowedZone value is set to zero.

Setting the MaxAllowedZone higher will allow for less access restrictions.
See the table below for exacts.

MaxAllowedZone Local Machine zone Local intranet zone

Trusted sites zone Internet zone Restricted sites zone

Has anyone run into a problem with help files not being accessible in 9.0X?

Right now I am trying to fix a problem where a user clicks on the help or
hits
F1, but they just get a "This program cannot display the webpage" error
message
when the screen comes up.

I have checked the .mfgsys file, the firewall and the SP for help was
applied
and I cannot find an error.

This includes trying to access help from the server.

Any ideas would be helpful, TIA.

I'm using MS Access and ODBC to connect to our Vantage 8.03 DB. It works awesome but... I'm trying to link to the QuoteOpr table but I get an error, "The size of a field is too long." I tried creating a view but when I link to the view I get the same error.

I vaguely remember encountering this error back in the Vantage 6.1 days but I can't find notes on how to fix it.

Any help is much appreciated!

I think that there is a registry fix for this.

Something like adding "workaround2" to the registry for your ODBC
connection and giving it a value of 36737
