Hi Christof,

Thanks for the info. I knew about the WinHelp() function, but have never used it. I wouldn't know about how HTML Help works. Could be something as simple as a SendMessage() with WM_CLOSE to the help window or something along the lines of the old style help. Funny, though, I can't find anything in the SDK on it.
