help files

How do you create help files for Visual Basic? I've tried using notepad and saving the file in .hlp, but it says it's corrupt or else not a valid windows file.

Thanks,

Use HCW, it comes with VB. Look on the CD. The whole trick is to use MS Word to create the rtf files. You'll find a LOT of people don't care to use HCW. The .chm format is getting very popular now, as its based on HTML. Personally, I'm still partial to .hlp :P

What CD? MSDN, Learn VB 6.0 Now, the VB Installation CD, or the service pack CD?

The VB installation CD.

Cool. I found it, but I'm kind of lost. How do I use this? If you don't want to go through the whole program, explaining everything, then could you point me to a FAQ or something?

Thanks,

I suggest you read the documentation, it pretty much walks you through the entire process.

Alright, cool. I'll try that after Timon and Puumba is over,:D and I'll get back to you.

Cool! I love programs that have walkthroughs. I know how to do it now! :)

Thanks OnError, Lebb,
