Linking in my Help file(s)

[Graham]

I could not seem to use Microsoft WorkShop to open and edit my help files
that are part of my project (default files).

My project shows 3 help files in the Solution Explorer:-

Help Files
-- My_Prog.cnt
-- bullet.bmp
-- afxrtf.rtf

Currently when help is selected (say F1 key) I get the blank default page.

Now I started to use a freeware program Cheetah to added the rtf data and
also used Microsoft WorkShop to take the Cheetah produced rtf file and
compile to help files.

I can produce a help file that works fine on its own.

But how do I integrate it into my project.

If I copy over the new help files into the project I get the following error
when I try and run Help.

The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor for an updated
Help file. (129).

I did try renaming files, and adding/removing help files from the project
etc, but still no luck.

So need lots of help on help ...... help!

I think Microsoft is moving the standard for old WinHelp format to HTML help
file(.chm). So maybe you should shift to that too.

The compiler for HTML help file can be found at "Program Files\HTML Help
Workshop".

Please correct me if that's not the case.
