Add the folder containing those VIs to the user.lib folder in your LabVIEW installation.

What do you mean by "help of block"?

Is that what you expect to see when you hit Ctrl+H?  If so, that should be part of the VI itself.  You shouldn't need to do anything extra.  If it's something else, I'm not sure what you mean.  Can you explain?

Yes, I mean help by hit Ctrl+H  or by right click on the object and select help. but, when I right click on the object, help selection is not active unlike other objec(please check the attached picture).

there is a file name ADO210 in the LABSQL folder(that I download it)  with .CHM format. I thought this should be add in a root to activate help selection. is it correct? 

Best Regards

You mix up two things here. The help visible when hitting ctrl-H is directly taken from the VI itself. It shows the VI icon, its connections and (if the VI programmer took the time to fill in VI Description) the text of that VI Description.

The Help in the context menu launches the external help viewer with a help file that the VI programmer must have created and accordingly configured in the VI Properties under Help Path.

Most VI libraries in the wild do not come with such a help file and accordingly no configuration to link to that help file.
