How are the .hlp files created? Is it sort of HTML because of the hypelinks? Is there a way to create the .HLP file with VB?

Help files are compiled. You have to create a text file and embed codes within the text file. Very similar to embedding codes in HTML files. After you create this help text file you have to compile it to generate the HLP file.

Look up in google the following:

HELP COMPILER

This should generate some good links.
