look at your VB6 Cd to Common\Tools\HCW en install Help WorkShop
After you can a .rtf document compile to a helpFile with the helpcompiler Hcw32.exe

jeba,
I am also 'struggling' w/ the help file issue. Ms. (Billy's MOM?) has recently (within the last year or two) started advocating HTML Help instead of the HCW. I discovered this by attempting to purchase Ms.'s Book on hte HCW - only to discover it is not available - but that the book for the HTML help could be purchased. I did get the book on HTMP Help, only to find that the URL references on the Ms. Web site were not current (e.g. NOT VALID). I - of course - attempted to bring this to the attention of MS, only to be told that I needed to provide a comprehensive life cycle history of ant issue which I thought was a problem before MS would degin to review it (enev if it was 'just a broken link'.
Despite the (less than) generous help from Ms. et. al., I was / am able to generate help with their HTMP Help compiler, however I am still at a loss as to HOW to generate/implement the links between the actual program and the help file. If you (or any other gurus) can explain this in a straight forward manner, or send me a SMALL example, I would greatly appreciate it.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over
