In your tutorial, having a problem linking the "Search the LabVIEW bookshelf" (on my D drive) help function with my Acrobat 4.0 reader(on my C drive)

When I was using the temp system demo vi, I selected Help>>Search the LabVIEW bookshelf. I then had a pop up window display tell me that the manual file "D:\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\manuals\lvlib.pdf" could not be opened. I then did a search for this file and found that the pdf file is where it should be. I also checked to see that my Acrobat 4.0 reader files were in tact and they are. I was able to open up this file in Acrobat 4.0 but only by double clicking the name of the pdf file while it is highlighted in my find files function box (It also works if I go directly to the pdf file itself in its folder location a
nd double clicked on it). Nevertheless, for some reason when a vi is opened and when using the Help function in order to use "Search the LabVIEW bookshelf", it does not link to my Acrobat reader. Are my LabVIEW configuration settings wrong? I just recently had LabVIEW 6.1 installed. What do I need to do in order for LabVIEW to properly link up to my AcroRD32.exe file?

In your LabVIEW 6.1\help directory, please replace the lvmanual.vi with the attached VI and try to select Help>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf again.

If it still does not work, please post a reply.

Thank you,

Tried what you said, but unfortunately this did not help. I basically got the same error message as before. Thanks anyway for trying.
