In VDS 5 HELP FILES...at bottom of some pages....it states:

See a more advanced example...

I assume it's a link to See a more advanced example...

It's not wking...is there another piece of help file I am suppose to download? I have searched to no avail.

All feedback welcomed and needed. Thanks, nt

It links to the corresponding demo script in your demo folder. Wink

Actually its because the current directory doesn't point to:

directory doesn't point ? How do we point?

Thanks, FF, but, how do we (I) redirect the point? nt

Thanks, FF, for all feedback., I've read your feedback over and over attempting to understand what I'm suppose to do... get the vds5 help file to point to the demos. I must be suffering with a learning disability for I do not understand. Confused

1. C:\Program Files\Visual DialogScript 5\VDS.chm

How do I get the VDS.chm (above) to point to the below demos dir? Question

2. C:\Program Files\Visual DialogScript 5\demos

Or...I have completely missed the "point" message?

Thanks, nt

Hi FF
I don't think that "Directory change" will help the html help macro/javascript to change it's path when html help is launched from the IDE (This is the situation in which the links don't work for me) and they don't work no matter what I do in this situation and I recieve a message like "Unable to start "demos\mousedown.dsp". But I was never bothered by it as I haven't yet taken a look at the Demos.

I suggested the "directory change" method since it worked for me when
I had this same problem with the VDS 4 help file; I didn't think to take note
that the VDS 4 help file was a .HLP file and the VDS 5 one is a .CHM one. Smile

I think the only way to get around this is to just manually look for the demo
with the name corresponding to the the help topic.
