Windows Help icon launches Quick Retrieve

[jpnk]

Using Excel 2002 SP2 and DocsOPEN 3.96 build 32

This is just plain weird:
In the "Standard" toolbar in MS Excel, clicking on the "Microsoft Excel Help" button starts the DocsOPEN Quick Retrieve window. If I look at the properties for the button, I can see the macro PCDOCSFILEOPEN is assigned. I correct this by removing the macro or dragging a new button to the toolbar. After doing this, the button works correctly. HOWEVER: Quit and Start Excel. The faulty behavior has returned! Somehow, docsxlXP.xla overwrites the assingment to this button.

Anyone else care to test this? Or maybe someone solved this already?

I've found this workaround: if I drag a new "Microsoft Excel Help" button to any toolbar except the "Standard" toolbar, it doesn't get overwritten.

Interested in your experiences!

My guess would be that there's some dodgy coding in the docsxlXP.xla macros.

We found quite a few problems in docsxl2000.xla and the Project 2000 macros that we ended up fixing ourselves. They had missed out We logged the problems with Hummingbird, who told us what to change in the macros (the same thing we'd worked out for ourselves), but for some readson they won't fix the macro files that are downloadable from their website.

So you might find that HB know the fix but are keeping it a secret. Good luck
