I am creating an app that I need to write a help file for it and I'm having a hard time finding out how to create the help files that use the Windows Help Program. &nbsp;There used to be a way to do it in VB4 but I'm using VB5. &nbsp;I know there are programs available for a cost to create help files. &nbsp;Does anyone know of a way you can create the help files on your own? &nbsp;Thanks much!

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
