Hi guys,

I've managed to create a help file using HTML Help Workshop.
But i cannot get the "Whats this help" feature to work.
All that happens s that the help file opens up!!!!

How can i get the small window to be displayed (small yellow box)??

Any help on this would be greate.

The "small yellow box" is a Tooltip. Most controls allow you to add your
comments to their ToolTipText property. Just remember to set the form's ShowTips
property to True (.T.).
