Dear sir,

I am develping a software based on Oracle forms. my questions are:

can I integrate help files created with Robohelp inside the software??

what is the best output type that suites my application??

if you got what I mean, I need the user of my software to be able to view help files of the current form he/she is using not the whole help files. as I read the robohelp help files this is called Context-sensitive help, deos it work in my case??


thanks

If you have RH6 you can add the Mark of the Web and run webhelp locally. Otherwise your users would need to allow Active X controls to run in IE.

You can call specific topics with CHM files but someone else will need to help you on that.

As your application will be web based you should be generating webhelp which also runs from a server.

Your users can be pointed to specific topics, not just the opened help file.

You call the help in a specific way pointing to either field or screen level topics.

See the topics on my site about Calling WebHelp.
