Question
broken RH HTML 7 project
I'm using RH HTML 7.0.3 on Windows XP Pro, SP3. Two
disturbing symptoms have suddenly begun to occur, only within the
last week.
Symptom 1: In only one project, my compiled CHM file no longer displays browse sequences. Nothing relevant in the project has changed (for example, the windows definition correctly specifies that browse sequences be displayed) as far as I know. Other CHM files in other projects that were compiled over a week ago and earlier all display browse sequences (the HHActiveX.dll file is installed). Browse sequences in the broken project CHM file are displayed neither on my PC nor on other PCs.
Symptom 2: Another problem has begun to occur within the same time frame (within the past week): when I click any TOC book or any TOC topic in the CHM file, the following HTML Help Author Message appears: "The window name "<name>" passed to HH_GET_WIN_TYPE has not been specified." But it HAS been specified, and correctly. (I've even checked all the XML project files.) Other CHM files that were compiled over a week ago and earlier do not evoke this author message. The HTML Help Author Message appears only on my PC (where RH is installed)—it does not appear on other PCs (where RH is not installed), and it appears only in the CHM that I'm currently working on. (I should add that I've deleted all my RH Window definitions and created new ones, but this has not changed the behavior.)
One other odd symptom that I suspect might be relevant: after I compile the CHM, the following three files appear in the top level folder of the project: ~$<projectname>.BRS, ~$<projectname>.hhc, and ~$<projectname>.hhk
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing these two symptoms? or where to start looking in order to fix the problem?
