On Windows, you can access the entire Help system by selecting the help icon that appears in the DataDirect program group.On all platforms, you can access the entire Help system by opening the following file from within your browser:
install_dir/help/help.htm
where install_dir is the path to the product installation directory.
browser_exe install_dir/help/help.htm
where browser_exe is the name of your browser executable and install_dir is the path to the product installation directory.
After the browser opens, the left pane displays the Table of Contents, Index, and Search tabs for the entire documentation library. When you have opened the main screen of the Help system in your browser, you can bookmark it in the browser for quick access later.
NOTE: Security features set in your browser can prevent the Help system from launching. A security warning message is displayed. Often, the warning message provides instructions for unblocking the Help system for the current session. To allow the Help system to launch without encountering a security warning message, the security settings in your browser can be modified. Check with your system administrator before disabling any security features.
Help is also available from the setup dialog box for each driver. When you click Help, your browser opens to the correct topic without opening the help Table of Contents. A grey toolbar appears at the top of the browser window.
This tool bar contains previous and next navigation buttons. If, after viewing the help topic, you want to see the entire library, click:
on the left side of the toolbar, which opens the left pane and displays the Table of Contents, Index, and Search tabs.
The product documentation is also provided in PDF format. You can view or print the documentation, and perform text searches in the files. The PDF documentation is available on the Progress DataDirect Web site at:
You can download the entire library in a compressed file. When you uncompress the file, it appears in the correct directory structure.
Maintaining the correct directory structure allows cross-book text searches and cross-references. If you download or copy the books individually outside of their normal directory structure, their cross-book search indexes and hyperlinked cross-references to other volumes will not work. You can view a book individually, but it will not automatically open other books to which it has cross-references.
To help you navigate through the library, a file, called books.pdf, is provided. This file lists each online book provided for the product. We recommend that you open this file first and, from this file, open the book you want to view.
NOTE: To use the cross-book search feature, you must use Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. If you are using a version of Adobe Reader that does not support the cross book search feature or are using a version of Adobe Reader earlier than 8.0, you can still view the books and use the Find feature within a single book.
