Suddenly, I am getting the following error message whenever I look at my chm file:

The file
mk:@MSITStore:D:\OP_Docs\OP_16_Docs\OP16_ReleaseNotesProjectArea\SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\OP_16_Release_Notes.chm::/OP_16_Release_Notes.hhc contains an invalid HTML tag.

Can anyone tell me how to find the invalid tag? I looked in the .hhc file (text follows) but I apparently don't know what it is I'm looking for! Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Betsy

Hello Betsy,

Welcome to the forum.

Is this chm file a newly generated file. If so it could be a simple corruption during generation. Try creating a new single source ouput and generate.

Hope this helps,

Brian

Brian,

I accidentally stumbled onto the answer. I had a merged .chm file that was not "in" a book in the TOC - it was just sort of "out there." I put it in a book and voila!

Thanks for your assistance.
Betsy
