On my system, that help file's located in C:\I386 and C:\Windows\Help

Are you sure it's missing?

I had previously done a file search on the computer, but I checked those
two directories again, and the file is not there. I have VB3 & VB6
installed,
but I think I also have VB4 and VB5 still around if that helps.

I'm running WinXP.

This may help.....if using the "Search for Files and Folders" of Windows
Explorer, make SURE that you check the "Advanced Options" checkbox and
specify the option to search system folders (and it's a good idea to search
hidden files and folders as well). If you don't do this, the search won't
look in the Windows folder or any of its subfolders (as well as a few other
folders that are considered system folders).

I found dbgrid96.hlp on Disc 1 of VB6 Enterprise in "L:\COMMON\HELP".  I
also found it on my VB5 Pro disc in "L:\OS\Help" (in both cases, L:\ is my
CD drive).  I did not find this file on my VB4 Pro disc. If you don't have
the file on your hard drive(s), copy it from a VB CD disc to the Help
subfolder of your Windows folder.

If, after you've copied dbgrid96.hlp to the Help folder, you still have
problems (i.e. no context-sensitive help for DBGrid), you might need to add
this file to the Registry. To do that, run "regedit.exe".  Expand
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE".  Expand "SOFTWARE".  Expand "Microsoft".  Expand
"Windows".  Click on the "Help" subkey under "Windows". In the right-hand
pane, right-click and select "New" and then "String value". This will create
a new string entry with a default name of "New Value #1", ready for editing.
Name this "dbgrid96.hlp". Press Enter then double-click this entry.  For the
value, type in the path to where this file is located (which should be the
Windows\Help folder). I don't think you should have to reboot, but if after
adding the Registry entry, context-sensitive help still doesn't work,
reboot.

If all of that doesn't take care of everything, I don't know what to tell
you.  <g>
