Making a Help Menu

[coolcatkelso]

Hiya Guys

Anyone have any ideas for building Help Page System to go with a DBase?

I think it would have to be called in by a button on the Menu Bar tho, can't seem to get anything going using F1

Sure there was a sample on here for a help system but can't find it anywhere

Here is a link that might help:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177116

http://www.vizacc.com/ converts Word files to compiled help files or http://chmprocessor.sourceforge.net/

Just one word of caution:

One of the articles Mr. B. linked to shows how to make .hlp files. In Vista and Windows 7, those are discontinued. You need some special patch to run them. You'd best create .chm files for your help system.

ok cheers guys

I did give it a go and got it working but I have about 15 forms and was going to create a help file for using them, decided in the end a simple PDF file on cd will do

Much easier lol

Thanks anyway tho
