I have just installed DBISAM 425 in D2007 Enterprise. It works just fine ... though I
haven't built anything large yet!

... However, DBISAM's Help has over-written D2007's help file. If I hit F1 in D2007, I get
DBISAM help & it doesn't seem possible to reset this.

As I haven't upgraded Delphi since D6 I am using the Help file rather a lot ... so this is
a right pain.

I don't usually use these new-fangled help-file formats (Wink... so I'm not sure how to
reset it. In CodeGear's folders on my disk there don't seem to be any "executable" help
files, all the files in the Help folder (called things like devwin32.hxs) seem to require
something else to run & I'm not sure what

Keep using D6's help file - its better unless D2007 has really improved over D2006. There doesn't seem to be any way of viewing the new "improved" help outside the app. If you find a way I want one as well!

It is much improved. Very much.

This shows as being posted as 19:44 here in outlook express, but it really
was 17:36.

The header also shows 17:36 (+2:00).

+2 = CET + Daylight Saving

What's wrong?

Me too,

Delphi help (contents and index) "filtered by:" only shows "DBISAM version 4
manual"

Topics via F1 in IDE are found

I'm looking into it, please be patient.  I don't understand why this shit
doesn't work the same every time - we changed absolutely nothing from prior
versions with respect to our D2007 help installation other than to simply
change all BDS4 references to BDS5.

It seems that h2reg -u

followed by

h2reg -r -m

from the Delphi Help/Doc directory will rebuild Delphi's help - but it will
lose all 3rd party help files you have - and you will have to rebuild and
add them manually (which I have not been able to do so far). It also seems
to have lost the index.

This is a real pain, for sure.

Tim,

For what it's worth, I was installed latest DevEx QuantumGrid, and it really
hosed the D2007 help file.  So, I'm sure it's not just a DBISAM problem.
Hope that makes you feel a little better Smile

John
