Hi Rocky, Well - I've been trying to use .chm files, and am having bad luck. Apparently, MS has found a possibility (remote) that a .chm file could have malicious code in it. So now to open a .chm file on a company's network using a hyperlink or using ShellExecute requires that they 'relax' their security setting a bit. I haven't been able to find the exact details. A .chm file can still be opened directly. By coincidence, I was going to begin writing a help file today. But what I'm going to do is to just create a small web site that can be opened by my application. This can contain text, screenshots, links to other files, and links to short videos I make to show some intricate aspect of the user interface. I hope this works! Good Luck, Dan -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 10:46 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] On-Line Help Dear List: Comes now the part of the book I'm writing where I talk about creating the user manual. But I also want to give some direction to creating on-line help. If you have ever done this, what product or method did you use? Any advice about doing this greatly appreciated.
