Re: [BCB1] Help with WinHelp

["Von R. Colborn" <selah-vc@srv.net>]

Probabily too obvious but are you sure that your help file can be located with
what you pass in for a name. i.e. Do you pass in just the file name or path
information + the file name?

May be worth considering.

Does anyone know of the MS GetLastError() method would have a value to
indicate why the WinHelp() call failed?
