Hot Fixes for .chm access problem

Over the last weekend, a security fix was rolled out which prevents .chm files to be viewed correctly over a networked drive. This has stopped e.g. MSDN to work properly. Microsoft has published a knowledge base article on this problem with ID KB892675 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892675/). The fix to this problem is to add a registry key:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000004

Process Handling with VBA

(Q) Whenever I shell out to another application, Access doesn't seem to wait before executing the next VBA statement. How do I make Access wait till I'm done with my other application.
(A) Paste the following code in a new module and use the Shell sub.


'***************** Code Start ******************
Private Const STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW& = &H1
Private Const NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS = &H20&
Private Const INFINITE = -1&

Private Type STARTUPINFO

End Type

Dim proc As PROCESS_INFORMATION

' Initialize the STARTUPINFO structure:

Beware of estate agents and the tricks they use. Well worth reading and referring to in the future. I hope some regulation comes out soon to regulate this industry!
