I've just started using Access 2010 as my primary development tool. I've been using A2003 up until now. Am I missing something or is the help sadly lacking?

If I try to open Help in the VBA window, I get a "Access Help" window that says "This page is unavailable." If I'm in a form's property sheet and press F1 I get the same result.

Any help that I can find seems to be fairly basic stuff and seems to be web based. Does A2010 include a local help file like previous versions?

Help!!

If you do the following, the help works fine:

ctrl-g, to enter the vba ide.

Now, hit f1,

In the window you see a "search" button with a little combo box like drop
down.

Choose BELOW "Content from this computer" choose the "Developer Reference"

And THEN in the lower right hand, click on the online/off line button, and
choose

Show ONLY content from this computer.

If you do both the above, then the help should work as good, or in fact
better then even 2003.

Thanks Albert. Before you posted your reply I had downloaded the Developer Reference from MS and installed it and got the help working. I couldn't get it working before doing this.
