How come some of my links don't work in my merged project?

I am working with RH8 and have set up a merged project according to the Grainge new method. The following is the file structure for my project (working) files:

C

     DocsandSettings

        MyName

             Mydocs

                 MyrobohelpProjects\

                      Help

                          Help file (this contains the redirect to SSHelp\Help.htm)

                          SSHelp

                              Children

                                  Help

                                     Main_Help_Page_files\Main_Help_Page.htm

                                  Achild

                                      A_Help\A_Help_files\A_Child.htm

                                 EChild

                                      EHelp\EHelp\EHelp_files\EChild.htm

I can link from Help to A_Child.htm. I cannot make the link from Help to Echild.htm

I generate to C\Merged\mergedProjects then the child files are all in their separate folders.

What Am I doing wrong?

Ok, so let me see if I understand this. My help structure for working files should be like this --

All projects (folder)

Parent (folder)

ssHelp.htm

ssHelp.xpj (file that will have the redirect to Achild.htm)

Children (folder)

Help (folder)

MainHelpPage.htm

Achild (folder)

Achild.htm

Echild (folder)

Echild.htm

Should the Help, Achild and Echild folders also contain the .xpj files for those children?

Can I move the whole structure under C\RHWorking or will everything break?

In my current structure the Achild actually links. I wonder why??

That looks better. The XPJ will always be in the root folder for that project.

Download the example on my site. You will see it first hand that way.

The way you had things links between child projects should have worked and links between the parent and any child would have broken. Make sure you are creating the links they way I describe. The relative path is very important.
