HTML Help first page

[dave]

Not sure if this is the right group to post this so sorry if it's not...

I've written a help file in HTML Help but when i compile it and then launch
the file i get a page not found message for the first page. When I then
click the page from the menu it is shown without problems.

Is there some naming convention for the first page (like on a web server)
- at the moment it's named introduction.htm

Many thanks for any help
dave

you have not followed the naming conventions

just rename the main page to index.html, change all the links accordingly
and then complie your help file again

99% of the time this should solve your problem


Note : I also run a mailing list/ezine where I regularly
discuss and try to solve similar problems. You might want

Hope you find my advice useful :0)
