>I am working on an application where I need context sensitive help screens. I would like to know some opinions of the best path to go down. I want everything that will be in the manual, available on the screen. DBF help files, HTML help files, or Windows Style help files. What, form those who have experience, is the best approach?
Hi Norm,
I've used all three types and my vote would be for HTML. DBF Help is ugly but easy. Windows help looks better but is harder to use (at least in my experience) and is not the current technology. HTML help, with the right tools, is fast and easy and really looks good. Take a look at
www.west-wind.com and try Rick's trial HTML Help Builder application. I think you will like it. HTH
