mmmm... I think it *must* be a file, not a topic in the help file!!! How can a user imagin that for install instructions... he has to install it first? Ok, you can unzip it (with IBO4.cnt file, otherwise you will not find the topic) and look for something about help installation, but is something you will never think about, if no one tells you. While if you find a "readme.txt" in the .zip, you will read it, I suppose :)

Yes, I know, but just selecting one IB_Currency on the form and pressing F1, does it work you your computer? Here it does not...
I've tried some installation tips I've found in the help file, but without success... I will try harder, if you tell me that it works on your computer.

I've no IBO.gid on my HDU...

Thanks for your help :)
