Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues with the search help functionality not operating correctly or causing problems when using ActiveX-Control on 32-bit Windows platforms starting with Release 4.5. Key symptoms include errors in flow control of search helps, issues in GUI execution for specific R/3 Releases, and various operational defects such as failing double-clicks, unresponsive dialogs, and UI corruption. Solutions primarily involve applying recommended kernel patches, registering necessary DLL files, and correctly setting registry entries.
