I've been building some help files. One problem is you can't jump to a specific spot on a page (like you can with HTML). Thus every concept you need to be able to jump to must be on a separate page. Also graphics and multimedia incorporation are primitive or simply not available at all in the help files.

The thought then came to me, why do this at all. Why not create a series of html documents and use the internet browser ocx to display them and use that as your help file. Now you can have really nice help files.

If you have a table that stores 2 fields one being the help context name and the second the html document and anchor tag, you can have context sensitive help as well via some simple code.

Has anyone done this and if so do you have any tips before I dive in.

TIA
