Acrobat trying to open local help file that doesn't exist

When I try to start Abrobat help I get a long pause followed by the error message "can't find the file at /C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/...."  I thought that web help was the default.  How do I clear this problem and get web help?

The issue is that it doesn't necessarily have to be the very first number that's free just so long as the number generated is in fact unique and not being used.
I can't generate a set of numbers because I'm doing an update statement where it's looking for only one number.
Let me see if I can explain better......
I have a table that has this column with intergers values that is also used by another table (it's the only way the two tables link together). However, for database reasons, it has to be no higher then 2147483647. Yet the database has been generating numbers beyond this point. I'm doing a procedure using dynamic SQL where I need to on the fly get one number that is under 2147483647 and yet is not already being used by a different record on either table (and they should match up one to one already). It doesn't have to be the first available number in the list, just so long as it's not used elsewhere on the tables and under that amount. Thus why I was using random number generation....
So now my first question is why would my original code that I came up with not work (so far I've been testing it and it is getting numbers and not in any appearant order that don't previously exist)? My second question is that is there a better way to get this number without generating a set or creating a table to reference it off of?
I'm going to try some of these other code examples while I check back here.

  • Since few days, Firefox crashes when trying to open local php files - without using localhost . It shoudn't. I tried to unsinstall everything and reinstall. But it didn't work. I use a mac osX 10..6

    I'm a beginner web developper. When I try to open php files, Firefox crashes and open millons of new firefox windows . I have no choice other than forcing Firefox to quit. When I use the localhost adress, it's Ok. But because I usually open the file directly from a folder in my HDD, (it's faster to dothis way) transforming it after with the localhost/~username/file ... it' s quite irritant.

    Hi.
    I tried logging in as a different user in the OS and that didn't work.
    Do you mean that Safari crashed there as well?
    If so, that's an indication that the startup disk needs repairing.

  • I am trying to open a garageband file that my friend sent me, but she has a newer macbook pro than I do, so I can't open the file because it says I need to update garageband.  I installed the updates but it still won't let me open it. How do I fix it?

    The newest version of garageband can't be downloaded on my computer because my operating system isn't new enough, but I can't find a link to download a newer version of garageband than the one I currently have (garageband '09 version 5.1). 

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

  • Visio2013 preview opens a .img file that doesn't run anything

    Has anyone else tried to download the Visio2013 preview? After then entire install process I click launch and what looks like a txt file opens but nothing happens... VisioProfessional_x64_en-us
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have no idea what you did, so unfortunately cannot comment on it. Since you reference the img file I have to assume you used it to either create a dvd that could be used to install it or mounted it on a virtual application so that it could be installed.
    When you have the image mounted (either virtually or physically) can you explore the the files and see what is there before beginning the install?

  • Hi I have copied over my iTunes to a new PC and now there are songs missing and when try to re download on iTunes it says play. When you hit play it sends you off to search for a file that doesn't exist. When syncing it says 100 issues Help please

    Hi,
    I have just put my iTunes on a new laptop by hard drive method and some songs are not there. When I go into iTunes it's doesn't say download or purchase it says play.
    So you press play and it opens a separate box saying search for file which isn't there.
    I have read tons of stuff re this but still not got it fixed. It's not a HD issue because iTunes won't let me download it why ?
    Hopefully someone can help
    Thanks David

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

  • LookoutDirect crashes when trying to open older .lks file

    I am providing a new WinXP Pro SP3 PC with LookoutDirect v4.5.1 (build19) to upgrade/replace and older lookout system at a water treatment plant.
    Being my first Lookout system I worked through the tutorials and everything worked great.
    I then tried to open the .l4p file that I had copied from the existing system.
    Lookout gave a message stating "The file C:\....l4p was created by an older version of Lookout. Please recompile it by opening the source file....lks"
    I then try to open the existing .lks file and Lookout crashes. I get the standard Windows "Send Error Report" screen. The details say that the crashed Application is cbl.exe.
    Details:
    Finally I get a message that says "Cannot open specified file!"
    Is there any way to repair the file? It may be possible that the existing system was NI Lookout and not LookoutDirect. Does anyone know if there is a restore path for the project?
    Is it possible that I didn't correctly back up the existing project?
    Thanks!
    Nick

    That can complicate things 
    I only have back to Lookout 5.1 in my library.  However, a few examples on NI are for Lookout 4.0:

  • I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

    I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

    In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
    If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import.  It does pretty well on basic things, though.
    If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

    Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
    AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
    Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files

    Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
    When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
    Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
    This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?

    You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
    The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file.
