How to make Help File

Dear Friends,

I wish :) to know how and where to make a Help file and how to link the Help file with my app so that when the user presses the Help menu > Content or so, a Help file will display.

Can you tell me where I should go to create the document and the coding to link it?

Thanks a lot, all dear forum members

there is a Help Workshop that comes with Visual Studio. you can use that, or, I use a program called Samaritan(found through a search at www.zdnet.com), its pretty good, and easy to use...

You can also check my homepage for some cool links to help authoring.

.

HTML Help Workshop available at www.microsoft.com

To display a help file, you can just shell WinHelp to open your file.

Code:

---

Shell "winhelp C:\MyHelp.hlp", 1

---

try VB Helpwriter

haven't used it much.. but its good for
creating a quick help file..
www.helpwriter.com

help workshop is always better if you
have the time

There's also a DOS version of the Help Compiler, which I believe is shipped with VB.
