Help files – Navigation Canceled

Background

Ever since I upgraded to Vista years ago and possibly before on XP, I’ve had problems with CHM help files I’ve downloaded. Normally I get frustrated that I can’t open yet another help file and find the information elsewhere.

Problem Solved

Today I downloaded a help file that I really needed to be able to use (Graph# to be precise); there isn’t a lot of information available on the Internet about Graph#, so I had no choice but to crack this problem for myself.

Turns out its a simple solution. Go to the properties of the chm file and if you trust the source simply Unblock. So simple it’s a little embarrassing.

Outlook 2007 Add-ins

Where the heck are they?

I’ve been doing a lot of on an Outlook Add-in (to be blogged later) which will use the Graphing previously mentioned. The problem is, when you build and run the Add-in, it’s put into Outlook in such a way that it’s there long after you’ve finished debugging.

In other Office 2007 products I’ve found it easy to track them down, but Outlook wasn’t so easy…..

Even if it helps one person, here’s the process to remove your work in progress add-ins

  1. Tools – Trust Center…
  2. On the left hand navigation bar select Add-ins
  3. At the bottom of the right hand pane, select COM Add-ins from the drop down box, then press Go
  4. Find the Add-in that you want to remove and select it
  5. Press the Remove button
  6. Press OK

Job done.

It’s entirely possible that everyone else knew where it was except me…. and now I do to! :)
