merging projects: the saga continues...

Hi Lon. Peter's website is all up and running so try again.

Peter G.,

I went to your website and tried to go into Merged Webhelp, but got "Internet Explorer cannot display this web page."

Lon,

If this is merged HTML Help (.chm), as some of your earlier posts indicate, then this is known issue with two possible workarounds:

1) Pass the context calls directly to the slave help files, bypassing the master and using "Solution #3" in the following article to present the user with a unified help system.

2) Channel all the context calls through the master help file, as described in the following article.

http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_merge_ctx2.htm

Both are rather kludgy workarounds, but they work well when all the project settings are correctly specified.

That problem is described in my topic on Merged Webhelp. You are calling a topic in a child project without referencing the start page of the parent project.

The formula is something like
