Online Documentation

[Tim Hunter]

Hi,
I have an Access Inventory Application that has evolved into a pretty
solid system and I have been asked to document it. Yes, I know it is
hard to believe but the customer would like documentation...lol

Anyway I thought that I would provide this documentation in the form of
online help if that is possible. I have not done this before and I was
wondering if anybody could explain to me how I might get started on this
if it is possible.

TIA
Tim

If you have a developer's edition of any Microsoft product you probably
already have the Help Workshop program on the installation CD. If not,
you can get the HTML Help Workshop program, and related files, here
(watch out for line-wrap):

Hi Tim,

I just use HTML pages for on-line help. You can even hyperlink to them by
converting text box lables to hyperlinks.

Have a look at
http://www.helpandmanual.com/index.html
I have been using this and it is a tremendous tool that will save you
loads of time and the output can be HTML or Compiled help files or
Word files
