I have looked on Google & found that it was recommended that you download CB6 trial for examples & documentation. I don't find a download for CB6 trial.

It only shows BDS2006. And I had looked there before. As for the .hlp file are you saying that BDS2006 can not use .hlp help files? Don Back to top Pete Fraser Guest Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 1:29 pm    Post subject: Re: winhelp Applications written with BDS2006 can use .hlp files but BDS2006 itself uses HtmlHelp2 for the help system. If you are writing help for components, there are several applications that you can use to generate HtmlHelp2 files: DocOMatic and GenHelpPro to name but 2. These can produce help files for most IDE's in most formats. GenHelpPro is available as a trial which adds a notice on each page but is otherwise fully functional. See my sig for GenHelpPro website. -- HTH Pete ================================= www.frasersoft.net GenHelp: "Making writing help fun" "Don Locke" <dgnospamlocke (AT) comcast (DOT) net> wrote in message news:44ff275f$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

I don't want to redo it as it would be very time consuming. Future projects will have htmlhelp2 help files. I still need to know how to use the .hlp help file with BDS2006.
