anyone know how to add custom help files into your VBA program?

[mchow2469]

Hi,

I currently want to add a nice custom helpfile for instuctions on how to use my program. I was thinking on using the application.help method, but it only opens *.hlp files?

How can I make my own custome *.hlp files? I tried playing around with this, but doesn't work. Says the file is corrupted whenever I try to make a textfile and rename it to a *.hlp file extension. Any help?

As an alternative, you could write your Help file in M$Word, using Bookmarks etc, then SaveAs .htm.
That way the user can read the Help file in a Browser (the Bookmarks will be converted to internal links etc).
It's quite effective and you don't need the app to create the .cfh (sp?) files.
