Hello there,

I have created a .chm file using the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.  I now 
want to have my C++Builder 2007 application display the .chm and a specific 
help topic.

I have placed the HtmlHelp.lib in my lib folder and the HtmlHelp.h in my 
include folder that came with the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.

In my code:

#include <htmlhelp.h>

HtmlHelp(Handle,"my.chm",HH_HELP_CONTEXT,262);

When I try to compile I get an Unresolved External on 'HtmlHelp'!

So I must have the wrong versions of HtmlHelp.lib and HtmlHelp.h.  I have 
tried the ones that came with Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.  I have tried 
the ones that came with my install of C++ Builder 2007.  I have tried using 
IMPLIB to create my own HtmlHelp.lib from my hhctrl.ocx.

Does anyone else call on a .chm file using HtmlHelp()?  Should I be doing 
this another way?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Chad
