Hi Jeffrey,

The sample included with VFP is the old-style help, not html help. The examples and documentation included with the HTML Help workshop aren't great, but they're better.

Basically. you assign help id numbers in a header file in the HTML help workshop using the format
#DEFINE <topic id string><topic id number>
#DEFINE MainTopicID   1
#DEFINE Form1        11
#DEFINE Form1Save   110

The only experience I have with help is using DBF help and setting the form.helpcontextid to the dbf.contextid field using the F1 key. I don't see where, in the HTML Help Workshop, I should be putting the ID that the WhatsThisHelpID should be referencing.
