 ADO Help doesn't appear (Access 2000, Windows 2000)

I can't get any of the ADO help to work.  For example, if I press F1 on an
ADO keyword (and there is no help on the subject in the Access 2000 help
file), I get a help box with nothing in it.  I have tried checking both MS
ADO 2.1 and 2.5 checked in tools, references.  I haven't been able to find
any ADO help file either (it's not under C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\ado, where the rest of the ADO files are).

I've done system repair, and also add features help files, but nothing
changes.

Nope, you have to download the ADO 2.1 help files and stuff from
http://msdn.microsoft.com ...

Actually the ADO help files are located in the MDAC SDK which can be
downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/data/download2.htm

To get the complete 2.1 SDK, you must install the following:

- Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.0 Stand Alone 37.8 MB
- Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.1 Update 5.6 MB

and you will need the following installed also

- MDAC 2.1.1.3711.11 (GA) Typical Install 6.2 MB

But since the Help file is on the OFfice 2000 CD (ado*.chm), why the heck
won't Office install it?

Also, another concern is that it will mess up newer ADO files and entries,
since Windows 2000 beta 3 includes a form of ADO 2.5.
