Files were not compiled message

Whenever I compile my HTML Help project, I get the following message:

"The following files were not compiled:
http:\www.aldon.com"

I have searched the entire project folder for this string of characters with both the RH Multi-file Search tool and with Windows search. Neither tool found such a string. The string also does not appear in the list of URLs.

Any suggestions?

Otherwise, just search on Aldon. Perhaps the string has gone across two lines in the html file. Also I notice that the string has one backslash instead of two forward slashes.

Hi, Bob,

Is that URL the target of a "Jump" button that you added to the toolbar of a help window? If so, the error message is nothing to worry about. It just signifies that the compiler, which normally only pulls local source files into the help file, was incapable of fetching a remotely-held one.
