We have just embarked on that awful task of documenting the help for our HR application. We used HDK3 and compile using Version 4 of the help compiler. On completion of it we tried it out with OI ( we should of done that earlier I suppose) and found that the UTILITY command will not run the WinHlp32.EXE or something and tells us taht we require a later version of Help. The help doco runs fine until we try running it from inside OI. I have tried renaming the 32bit version to Winhelp.exe but to no avail. It will probably work using the version 2 / 3.1 compiler but out doco will no longer compile as it runs out of memeory even on a 64MB RAM PC. It will take ages to re do it all in smaller chunks.

Any ideas greatfully recieved

Thanks

Tony,

I'm not sure how you are running your Utility() line, but I would suggest qualifying it with an executable program.

That is, instead of:

 Utility("RUNWIN","proghelp.hlp")

Try using:

 Utility("RUNWIN","winhlp32.exe proghelp.hlp")

And/or remove all references to winhelp.exe from your file associations and/or win.ini file.
