Out of interest what do others think of the new help system - a step forward or its disappearing down a big black hole somewhere? You can probably guess my opinion - I've just come from fighting with it. I'm sure everything I want is in there somewhere but I can really understand how people make money on the xxx for Dummies books!

Cumbersome & slow (& I'm not talking about me Smile)
Certainly not an improvement over the old style.

I am so pleased its not just me - maybe they'll fix it for SP3 and then again maybe not.

The help system, the delay when you switch from designer to code (or the
other way?) and some problems if you are using inherited forms heavily are
my reasons to wait for D2007. Or for a contract where I have to use D2006
SmileD5 is soooo old, but at least it does something exactly when I hit a
key.

Btw, why on eartch can't they add a feature that sets the version numer of
all projects of a group to the same number? Can't be _that_ hard.
