When I try to open RoboHelp, I get a dialog box that reads "DAO is not installed. This application cannot run without DAO, so please install DAO then try running the application again." What is DAO? Has anyone else ever had this?

    DAO stands for Microsoft's Data Access Objects. It is installed in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO. It is required for working with databases. If it is not installed on your machine, you can get it from MSDN.
