Clicking the Help button in the Studio results in:
This page can’t be displayed

Make sure the web address //ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff.htm# is correct.
Look for the page with your search engine.
Refresh the page in a few minutes.




Check that all network cables are plugged in.
Verify that airplane mode is turned off.
Make sure your wireless switch is turned on.
See if you can connect to mobile broadband.
Restart your router.

Hi Peter,

You mean the Help button on the toolbar?

It is context sensitive. Meaning that it will look up the help where your cursor is in the code you have open.
If it is on the word "dbView" you get dbView help, if the cursor is on the numbers in "Set Location to 6 254" you'll get the error as you mention.
If no source is open you'll get help topic "The Studio Desktop"
Does that help?

Peter,

Do you know exactly where you were in the Studio when you saw this? As Wil mentioned, the help is context sensitive and this may mean that there is no available context page for exactly where you were.

Cursor was on something for which there is no help. In 17.1 it gives the "Welcome to the Visual DataFlex 2012 Studio" page if nothing else is relevant.

Can you tell me where it was?

Edit: Never mind, is was likely the new Table Viewer - there is a specific help topic defined in the code that doesn't exist in the help book. This will be fixed next rev.

It was a word in a comment in a View.

Hmmm

That is different. I'll have to check into this.

I reproduced this when clicking F1 in the Table Viewer.
