Help Systems

We build a complete Help facility for your Visual Basic Application or MSAccess solution. Our WinHelp system can be employed by 16 or 32 bit applications running on Win95 or later.
  Context-Sensitive, 'Free-Standing' (useful for tutorials), and 'What's This?' style Help Systems are available.
 

Will a WinHelp Help system integrate with my Visual Basic application or MSAccess solution?

 

Yes, WinHelp is ideally suited to this environment.

   
Do you also produce HTML Help systems?
No. HTML Help does not currently perform well within VB or VBA environments.
 
How do I 'call' Help from within my project?
Easy. We provide you with all the coding necessary and full instructions - it's just a matter of cut-and-paste. You can then call any context-sensitive Help topic you choose from wherever you wish.
 
I want to be able to call a context-sensitive Help topic from the VB MsgBox, is this possible?
Yes.
 
Can you include pop-up help (eg. 'What's This? Help') in the same Help file as my Context-Sensitive Help file?
No. You need a separate Help file for pop-up Help.
   
Can I see an example of how WinHelp will look and work?
  Yes, you can download working examples from here.
   
How much does it cost?

How do I send you content for the Help system?
  We will send you a special template and full instructions.

  Send us an email and we will send you all you need.
