Thank you for your reponses.I obtained a couple of Help writing tools from
suggestion here and they seem to do a good job; easy and intuitive. So far
so good. My current problem seems to be in the linkage. I compiled with
the generated .hlp file and in one of my procedures (UpdateCorporation) I
specified ~Setup for the Help
button. Setup is one of my Topics. When I click on the Help buton in the
application I get the Help screen 'Help Topics..' and the first entry 'Type
the first few letteres....' has my procedure name (UpdateCorporation) in it.
I tried using various combinations of context names, but no difference. I
even put in a fictitious one and it came out the same. Somehow I am not
getting the proper linkage.

Am I missing something simple here?
Thanks for any further help

Hi Serge,

Is the '~' a valid character for a topic name?

Ciao . . .

Sorry for the new post, but my simple MAPI whatever is missing and I can't
reply.

Joseph, Thanks for the reply. The ~ signifies context. Believe me, I tried
leaving it off, and every variation I could think of....no success.

Hi Serge,

The listed e-mail is correct. If you would like, you can send me a sample of what you are doing, and I will take a look at it.

Which help compiler are you using? I am using the Microsoft help compiler that I downloaded off of http:/www.download.com and I
haven't had any problems. I am running on a WinXPhe box and have used HelpScribble & the Microsoft compiler on WinME and Win98
boxes with no problem.

BTW, my first name is C.Joseph . . . notice no space between the '.' and the 'J'.

Ciao . . .
C.Joseph
