PRJ41: "Topic Does Not Exist" for Visual Basic Method (136076)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project for Windows 95 4.1
This article was previously published under Q136076 SYMPTOMS
When you press F1 in a module or when you click the Help button (?) in the Object Browser to display the Help topic for one of the Visual Basic keywords in your macro, you may receive the following error message:
The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor for an updated Help file. (129)
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you attempt to display the Help topic for one of
the following Visual Basic methods:
AutoCorrect
FileProperties
HelpAnswerWizard
HelpMicrosoftNetwork
HelpTopics
MailPostDocument
MailProjectMailCustomize
ResourceAddressBook
ResourceDetails
BuiltinDocumentProperties
CustomDocumentProperties
This problem only occurs when you display the Help topic by using context
sensitive Help in a Visual Basic module (by pressing F1 with the method selected or with the insertion point following the method in the macro).
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use the Index tab or the Answer Wizard tab in Microsoft Project Help or in Visual Basic Help. To display the Help topic for one of the methods in the list above, use the following steps:
- On the Help menu, click Microsoft Project Help
Topics.
- Click the Index tab.
- Enter the method that you want to display the Help topic for,
such as AutoCorrect, and then click Display.
- If a list of topics appears, click the topic that discusses the
particular Visual Basic method, and then click
Display.

Project listed above.
