Does anyone know how to resolve this error? I'm exhausted googling.

I generated Webhelp and got the error below. When I View the Help, nothing displays; IE browser does not open the Help.

It would seem that the template files have become corrupt. Does the file

referenced exist on your local disc?

Kind regards,

Thanks for the quick reply.

No, they don't.

I upgraded from RH8 to RH10 a few months back. The problem started when I uninstalled RH8 a few days ago.

My guess is that they are RH8 template files that were removed.

Why Robo 8 would remove RH10 files is beyond me.

A reinstall of RH is sure to fix it. But if you PM me your email

address, I can send you a copy of the file (might save you a reinstall).

Kind regards,

Willam
