Hi, I have developed an application with Borland 6 which so far has mostly been used on Windows XP. I have created a .HLP WinHelp file which so far has been fine. As more users are now getting Vista and WinHelp is not supported on Vista (unless a user specifically downloads it) I now need to change my help file format. I have been searching archives and trying to understand what to do, but now feel more confused than when I started. I am unclear whether .chm files are supported under Vista and whether .chm is the same as HtmlHelp? I cannot afford to buy a help authoring system such as Help and Manual, so I have tried HelpMaker by vizacc. I have successfully created a help file but do not know how to call it from my application and specifically how to invoke it with a specific page showing. This however could be academic if it is not sensible to move to .chm I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks, JB
