For those of you wanting to use Rick Stone's method of
editing the .mpj in Access to make buttons stick, I found out that
newer versions of Access may not be compatible. I do use an old
version of RoboHelp but since even the latest release of RoboHelp
is getting on in years I wanted to call attention to this. Access
reported that it couldn't edit because the format was old but then
it promptly rewrote my .mpj file (reducing it from 1.8MB to 500kB),
which then trashed my .hhp file.
Yes the database was written for Access 97. I have
nonetheless managed to open it in later versions, compact it and
then save it as the older version. I don't recall the exact steps
but it can be done.
