Hi Bonnie,

I tried it out, but I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to find a way to control where that HTML file gets displayed. It opens a new IE window and, as I said, I want to be able open it in my own browser control.

>Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is this: am I barking up the wrong tree with trying to use Forms.Help and Forms.HelpProvider? Is there a better way of doing Help? I'm thinking that I'm probably going to have to roll-my-own, as I seem to have to do with everything. That's ok ... I like having control over my own stuff. But, I'd like to rule out any other methodologies before resorting to my own devices. <g>

How are the help documents stored? If they were in a database, it doesn't seem like it would be very hard to roll your own via a web service (WCF) preferably just passing in the search words, etc.
