Popups going to glossary

Holiday greetings to you!

I have an old RoboHelp project that is compiled in WinHelp 2000.  When I create a popup within a topic, compile, and then go back to validate, the popup is going to the glossary, consequently creating errors.  How can I turn the glossary off?  At my wits end.  Have to deliver project by end of business today.

Thank you for your feedback!

A popup can only go to its target. It sounds like something is missing here.

The glossary can be turned off by deselecting the glossary button in the wizard when you generate.

Any ideas as to what might be going on. I have checked all of the property boxes and the like. I am compiling in WinHelp 2000. Could it be that I am adding new images and creating new sheds with old definitions for the popups?

Thanks for your feedback!

So you are not talking about popup links but images with hotspots.

I believe if you create a new image, you have to redefine all the hotspot areas and the links. Not 100% sure as it is years since working with this product but I think that's the deal. Some simple testing will tell.
