    VB6 Help / MSDN

    I have VB6 it came with MSDN Library April 2003 (3CD set). All installed ok but VB6 help does not work.
    Checked on MS website and it seems that MSDN libraries after 2001 only directley interface with Visulal Studio.net. I need a seperate viewer to access MSDN.
    MSDN is there in my Programs folder but it does not contain any" .exe" programs, so how do I view it?
    Can anyone help?

      Could you tell me how to launch seperatly?
      I have searched the the folder C:\Program Files\MSDN and its sub folders, I cannot find anything I can recognise as an executable file.

        You need Document Explorer as its called. Its executable is titled "DExplore.e xe".

        I couldnt find a link for download but if you downloaded MSDN, you should have it on your system already. Just do a search for Dexplore.exe.

          Dexplore on my system was located here:

          C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 8
