SYMPTOMS
When you press
F1 in a module or when you click the
Help button (?) in the
Object Browser to display the Help topic for one of the Visual Basic keywords in your macro, you may receive the following error message:
The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor for an updated Help file. (129)
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you attempt to display the Help topic for one of
the following Visual Basic methods:
AutoCorrect
FileProperties
HelpAnswerWizard
HelpMicrosoftNetwork
HelpTopics
MailPostDocument
MailProjectMailCustomize

ResourceDetails
BuiltinDocumentProperties

This problem only occurs when you display the Help topic by using context
sensitive Help in a Visual Basic module (by pressing
F1 with the method selected or with the insertion point following the method in the macro).
WORKAROUND

Index tab or the
Answer Wizard tab in Microsoft Project Help or in Visual Basic Help. To display the Help topic for one of the methods in the list above, use the following steps:
- On the Help menu, click Microsoft Project Help
Topics.
- Click the Index tab.

such as AutoCorrect, and then click Display.
- If a list of topics appears, click the topic that discusses the
particular Visual Basic method, and then click
