BUG #: 235895 (SHILOH_BUGS)



SYMPTOMS
You may encounter the following problems in the Data Transformation Services (DTS) UI Online Help:  When opening a DTS package that was saved with a password, if you attempt to invoke Help in the Package Password dialog box, it may fail with the following message:

Help topic not found

 In the Execute SQL Task dialog box, when the cursor is in the SQL Statement, invoking Help brings up the &quot;Calendar&quot; Help topic instead of the &quot;Execute SQL Task Properties&quot; topic. When editing a Transform Data Task and specifying SQL Query on the Source tab, if you right-click Select Font, the Font dialog box appears. Invoking Help from the Font dialog box brings up the &quot;Transform Data Task Properties (Source Tab)&quot; Help topic instead of the &quot;Font&quot; Help topic.

In the DTS Query Designer UI Online Help, you may encounter the following problems:
 * The Help button from the Add Table dialog box does not bring up a Help topic.
 * When an executed query results in an error, the Help button on the Error message dialog box does not bring up a Help topic.

NOTE: To invoke the DTS Query Designer, bring up the Transform Data Task Properties. On the Source tab, enable SQL Query and then select Build Query.
