Hello,
I've spent the last 13 hours trying to solve a problem I've enocountered when building a help file in a VB6 project. I need some help here - please!
I'm using the MS Help Workshop that ships with Visual Studio. I've managed to (in lieu of the terrible documentation), figure out how to create the help file (as an .rtf), assign Topic ID's, construct hyperlinks, etc. When I click on a hyperlink in the RTF document, everything jumps appropriately and I have no problem linking from one topic to the next. After compiling the help project file (HPJ), I get no error messages, and am able to successfully call up the help menus from within my application.
My problem is that NONE of the linkages work. It is as though they are disabled. It does not recognize the cursor. If I go to, say, Topic ID 5 initially, and then press the Contents BUtton on the WIndows Help Screen, it takes me back to my first page correctly. However, none of the individaul linkages are working.
What am I missing? Shouldn't the hyperlinks function as they did in the original source document (the .rtf)? The documentation explains another alternative that requires a double underlining after the topic - however, I could not figure out how to do a double underlining in Word.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm dead in the water with no paddle. TIA.

Barry
