Nobody uses google or yahoo?  I did a search and found quite a few free programs to create HTML help files.  Even MS has HTML Help......

Rob,

Get the Microsoft HTML workshop, its a bad mannered old pig but if you use Komposer and get the swing of how both work CHM files are no big deal. You basically create the HTML file, make sure all the cross links work then compile them.

I already have that I was telling the OP he could use that to create chm files and it works fine...

hehe...I can search and download the first program I found so  ¿Why asking? Well, because maybe "you" tried several programs and found one that works pretty well.. so you can recommend it to me and save me the time of download and try a few. I think the "concept" behind asking something is this. When you want to buy something ¿dont you ask people who are involved in the subject if they can give you very good advice based on his own experiencie?

I think this is the point of build up a forum... If I know about something because some time ago i got involved in this subject and you ask me because you are involved in this subject right now ..doesnt make sense to take advantage of my knowledge?

Peace  :bg
