I can't find the answer to my question anywhere. I've spent the last 2 days
searching for an answer. Here goes:
I am wanting to have pop-up help available for certain controls on an Access
form. I downloaded HTML Help Workshop (HHW). I have played with this
extensively. I do not want to create many little HTML files and I found
that I could use SPLIT FILE to have multiple topics in one HTML file. I
cannot get it to work. And I can't find any documentation (other than in
the help files in HHW) on how to get this to work. Here's the code in my
HTM file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft® HTML Help Workshop 4.1">
<Title>Upward Bound Help</Title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This is help.
<Object type="application/x-oleobject"
classid="clsid:1e2a7bd0-dab9-11d0-b93a-00c04fc99f9e">
<param name="New HTML file" value="EthnicityCD.htm">
<param name="New HTML title" value="EthnicityCD">
</OBJECT>
This is the help for Ethnicity.
<Object type="application/x-oleobject"
classid="clsid:1e2a7bd0-dab9-11d0-b93a-00c04fc99f9e">
<param name="New HTML file" value="NCESSchID.htm">
<param name="New HTML title" value="NCESSchID">
</OBJECT>
This is the help for Target School.
</BODY>
</HTML>
This is what is in my .h file:
#define EthnicityCD 20010
#define NCESSchID 20020
In my Access form, I referenced the help file and inserted the Help Context
ID on the controls. But I get this error when I press F1 in the control:
HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section.
All I want is pop-up help, not a full-blown help system. Does anyone know
the exact steps to get what I want? Does anyone know where on the web I can
get specific help on using the SPLIT FILE and getting it to work?
I thought of doing Balloons for help. I tried using MSGBOX but can't figure
out how to get the help option to work in that. I'm just trying to make
this as user-friendly as possible but it's not being very friendly to me.
I am so frustrated that I'm ready to give up and just type up the help.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
