Freeware tools for developing .hlp files?

[James3mc]

Does anyone have any experience of developing a help file to go with an Access vba application? Are there any good free ones? Are there any to avoid? Are any of them nice and easy to use? How long does it take to set one up? And how many more seasons of "Lost" can they possibly make?

Thanks,

I would suggest that you don't do this.

It is a lot of work to create and a lot more to maintain.

Suggest you use Control Tips instead.

Actually after a bit of research, i found HelpMaker (http://www.vizacc.com/products.aspx) which was really easy to use. I made a simple .hlp file in about an hour which gives specific help for each individual menu, form and field within my app. Tasty!

Good to hear.

Trust all goes well.
