help file creation

Help!!!

How do I create a help file and call same from my vb6 project and it will look like the standard windows help file? am running on windows 98.

Anyone who has an idea or has done something like this b4 should please give me quick hints to help me out....

thanks

Go to http://www.helpwriter.com
and take there VB HelpWriter lite edition.
You also will need a Microsoft Help Compiler
version 4.0, which you can find in Microsoft
Download Center.
Why? Of course, you may use Word Editor
to create rtf file, but most of work you will
need to do manually, when VB HelpWriter
even don't need the text editor, and
most of work it performs automatically,
it even creates the VB Module file for
corresponding version of VB, containing
all the necessary constants, API Declarations
and functions. I am using it already
a year, and very impressed of it.

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot Ruth, the Lite version I saw at helpwriter.com is for windows 95 & NT and there is no mention of vb6 only vb5 and below what do you suggest?

Pls respond & thanks a great deal

It is perfect for VB5 and 6, believe me.

I personally use Borhelp for old-style help files. It is FREE and has no limitations on it(IE, not shareware), it is a macro for Word. Do a search online for it.

You could also try making HTML help files. They get packaged into ONE file.
