Configure F1 to PL/SQL Help?

[Nathan J]

Hi!

Minor issue. I was customizing the hot keys for PL/SQL Dev (Version 6.0.3.893). I set F1 to be used for PL/SQL Developer Help. However, when I hit F1, I get an error dialog stating:

Cannot find the \PlsHelp.hlp Help file. Check to see that the file exists on your hard disk. If it doesn't, you need to reinstall it.
{OK}

I also added a toolbar button for Pl/SQL Dev Help, but it seems to always be disabled.

Help works fine when selecting it from the menu.

Hi Nathan:

I've have tested this and it seems that the program points directly to the manual file, maybe it's possible that it has been hard coded in the program, but this is just my simple point of view, better expect a professional answer.

You have assigned F1 to "Help / PL/SQL Help". This invokes the Oracle PL/SQL help file, which is apparently not present.

You probably want to assign F1 to "Help / PL/SQL Developer Help". This invokes the PL/SQL Developer Help file.

Thanks Marco. I haven't been on in a while and just saw your response.

I changed the F1 key assignment and that did the trick - mostly . If I am in the browser window or the Template window and hit F1, PLSQL Dev help comes up and THEN I get the "\PlsHelp can't be found" error, followed by a "do you want to find the file yourself..." prompt and if I say No, I get another "\PlsHelp can't be found..."

No big deal though.

Thanks,
Nathan
