Help in A2010

[Salad]

I created an app from a template. It appears VBA isn't desired like a
macro. In form Main of the Issues project the macro had something like
If IsNull(CurrentWebUser(0)) then
Stop Macro
Endif

I'd highlight CurrentWebUser and hit F1 and get nothing.

Searching for CurrentWebUser got nothing.

How does one get help topics on some new topics in A2010?

It is a beta....

Download the help file here:

And, there is a hsx viewer here:

You can use:

if currentproject.IsWeb = True then
bla bala bal

Thanks for those links. When I was in the MacroBuilder I'd enter
IsNull(Cur and there'd be a dropdown with CurrentWebUser but no way to
determine it's significance.

I'm impressed with how quick A2010 loads and responds. Seems impressive.

Any "learning" sites you'd recommend?

Hmmm...I downloaded the help files you provided the link to. I
installed them in the 1033 folder under Office14...I don't know if that
is right. I still can't get the help file to recognize a
property/method like CurrentWebUser to find out what it does, what its
purpose is. I guess I am so used to highlighting a word and pressing F1
to get help.

I am usure what the hsx viewer is or how it works. Does the help files
work external from the application or can they be used inside the
application?

The help is not yet working in that beta. I would not send you on a wild
goose chase to waste your time here...

That help file for me un-zips to c:\office 2010 developer
resources\developer references\

So, you need to launch some hsx viewer. You should be able to view that hsx
file with visual stupid..but, I don't have those bits on my testing box for
2010...

Anyway, when you launch that viewer, just dismiss the startup dialog (use
close), then go file->open file, and browse to the above folder with the hsx
file.

This *has* to be a voice transcription error...

I can't stop laughing! :)

That is funny....

By the way, I never did in public thank you for our great discussion here
about 2010. It was a real crowd pleaser, and even bloggers like Tony linked
to that discussion from his site. A LOT of people really enjoyed that whole
discussion we had.

We both wrote a ton of text and I sure we provided a good daily read for the
regulars...

Again, thanks for your contributions, it was lively, but I enjoyed the whole
thread.

Well, I feel like the peasant being thanked by the prince for being
there to accept his charity! I was the grateful recipient here,
benefiting from all your heavy-duty work on this. To me, it was an
ideal opportunity to ask questions of someone who I already trusted,
and who I already knew was not a bought-and-paid Microsoft-head. The
fact that you *sound* like one in this discussion is an indication
to me of how fabulous the new features are.

I'm wracking my brain trying figure out justification for *using*
the new stuff with any of my clients' apps, but so far am not having
any luck. I do have one client for whom it might be a good answer,
and they are on the cusp of upgrading their server (yes, they have
only one server), so a Sharepoint version of their app might solve
certain problems that they've been addressing with GoToMyPC and such
services (which means a headless workstation or two sitting around
in the corners of their offices to support two employees who always
work offsite; all this despite the presence of a proper Windows
server that I do all my programming on remotely, and that could be
easily converted to support two remote Terminal Server users without
much trouble; but they don't listen to me on that one -- they like
having the same desktop as their desktop PCs).
