I saw this problem when I first got an NT box at the end of January. I
installed NT 4.0 then the SP2 and the RAS hotfix, so I suspect one of these
might have been responsible, but once I'd fixed the problem I couldn't be
bothered doing it all again to test my theory !

 What I did to cure it was to sort all the help files by date and looking at
the last files created. This showed that the search database files stopped
being created at a certain point (I can't recall where and I'm sending this
from my VAXstation). Find out where it is, then compare the next couple of help
files to the ones on the NT distribution CD. You'll probably find that they are
far too small. Restore good versions of the the corrupt help files from the CD
or a known working NT system, then try your "find by word database" build
again.

 This fixed it for me, but I'd like to know how the help files got corrupted
(I hadn't used the machine at this point, just installed NT 4.0, SP2 and RAS
Hotfix), and where error 177 is documented.

           Hope this is of some help,
                                        Phil Ottewell
