SYMPTOMS
Context-sensitive Help (F1) does not work in Visual InterDev 6.0 after you have installed Microsoft Visio 2000.



CAUSE
This occurs after Visio 2000 installs a Help command on the Toolbar in Visual InterDev 6.0.



RESOLUTION
Follow these steps to resolve this problem:
 * 1) In Visual InterDev 6.0, from the Tools menu, click Add-in Manager.
 * 2) Clear all of the Load Behavior checkboxes for the Visio 2000 toolbar.
 * 3) Close Visual InterDev 6.0.
 * 4) Search for and delete all instances of &quot;Cmdui.prf&quot;.
 * 5) Restart Visual InterDev 6.0. Context-sensitive Help should now be working.

NOTES:
 * After doing this you will no longer have the Visio 2000 toolbar in Visual InterDev 6.0.
 * Reinstalling Visio 2000 may break the Help system again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0.
