Hey Mike, I get to return the help (data classes).<br>If you go to the Microsoft Site and search for HTML Help, you will find a freebie called HTML Help Workshop.<br>It's not great,but it's pretty good.<br><br><A HREF="

Have you tried to write your own HelpMaker program?<br><br>I'm still contemplating if I should or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm useing WordPerfect to write most of my stuff (spell checking is VG) but then I use a text editor to put in some final touches. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>By the twitching of my thumb, something wicked this way comes........oh, it's only a boogy.

Don't write your own, there are too many free ones on the net.

Unfortunately, I only have VB 4 Prof. Ed. and there is a help compiler that came with it, but not a help writer (ex: Robohelp).<br><br>So, I don't currently need to use HTML help because I don't have a web site anyways.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, thanks for the suggestions <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>By the twitching of my thumb, something wicked this way comes........oh, it's only a boogy.
