I've got an app I developed originally with C++ Builder 5 that I was
trying to port to C++ Builder 2006. I have a basic Windows .HLP file
for the application. I found that I could not get the help to work
after upgrading the app to 2006. I've done a bit of searching, and
found that there are some differences related to WinHelpViewer, but I
haven't figured out exactly what I need to do to get my application to
work like it used to. Specifically, I used the HelpCommand and
HelpContext functions to access my help file. Thanks for any
suggestions.

Thanks for the link. The discussion topic was Delphi though, and the
last message in the thread seemed to imply that it wasn't the same for
C++ Builder projects, but didn't elaborate. But I'll try doing the
rough equivalent in C++ and see if it works.

No it wasn't. The *solution* was Delphi which is supported in
the C++ compiler. Just do what the link says.

No, it said that there wasn't a C++ solution that he knew of.

Add

#pragma link "WinHelpViewer"
