About Help File in windows application

Hello everyone,
I need to build a help file for a windows application, what i want to do is
i got 3 forms, on each form when the user click on the "?" button on the top
right corner, a help file associated with that form will pop up. What i
have on hand is my application, a set of HTML files compiled into a compiled
help file format (.chm)... When creating the HTML files, there is one thing
called "keyword" which i need to specific, i reckon there should be some way
to call out each help file using this keyword, but i just dunno how..
Is there any way to make it possible with the things i have on hand? Or if
it is not possible, what should i do to accomplish this?
Thanks
Tony

If you haven't already seen it, there is a useful article on how to
connect HTML Help files to .NET applications at:

http://helpware.net/mshelp2/demo2/h1xNET.htm

If you need instructions on how to add index keywords to your help
file, Microsoft's documentation is available online at:

1) I need to support installing a Java application from CD on both Windows AND on the Mac. I have figured out how autorun works on Windows. Is the method for doing this the same on the Mac as it is for Windows? I am thinking that what I'd do is create an install "program" (like the Setup program created by Install Shield on Windows), but make it as an executible jar file so that the Java VM on either can handle the install process. That...

Using ideas provided by some of you I was able to figure out how to get the names of the parameters fields of a crystal report specified at run time. The code below just basically puts the data into a comboBox. One thing I noticed, however, is that this method shows me both the parameters used by the main report and parameters used by the sub-report(s).

Dear all, Now, I have 3 projects of class library and 1 project of window application. The window application will call the 3 class librarys. So should I make 4 .snk files for each project?

The main target of me is that I can install the window application once in the client PC, then the client PC can update its version after I compile in the program in the server. Please...
