How, for Vdb7 apps, do people create Windows help files (*.hlp)? Is that typically or always done with thirdparty software? Can anyone recommend a good program I should look at?

Look in your <VdB Install Directory>\Help\Tools directory. <g> You can create a hlp file with a word processor that can save as an RTF and the help compilers that ship with VdB, but it's a major PITA. It's very worthwhile to pick up one of the shareware help authoring tools. There are many of them available. I use HelpScribble. You can take a look and download it at: http://www.ping.be/jg/helpscr.shtml There is a pretty comprehensive list of others with download capability at: http://www4.windows95.com/apps/98/helpfile.html Gary Some dBASE Stuff at http://www.AppTools.com/dbase

Look in the Win32SDK group. If you can't find it try reinstalling VdB7, pick the Custom option then look through the choices. You should be able to select only the exra components you want. -- Paul Franks (TeamB)
