I belive what you need to do is create a [MAP] section in the Help Project file. I assume Help Workshop gives you a way to do this, but I wouldn't know how. Basically though you want to map help topics to ID's then use those id's for the ContextID's. Check out the solutions html help sample that came with VFP 6.
