"This help system has no topics"

Hi all

(Apologies if you've already read this on the Framemaker forum - posted there first by accident)

We're using the trial version of Framemaker 12 as part of the TCS5 suite.

I've been experimenting with the Publish pod to create WebHelp.

I managed to create pretty good help files, and was pleased with the result.

Then I changed a few things (renamed some book files to provide better search results) and now when I generate Webhelp and view the output, "This help system has no topics" appears in the main window.

This happens regardless of whether I generate the book, or a single file. There clearly are topics, which appear in the TOC on the left. When I click an item in the TOC, the help file works fine.

Even when I revert to the original file names, it still happens.

Also, the search function no longer works - it did before.

I've noticed that there is a NoTopic.htm file which is produced during generation - when I delete this, I get a missing file icon. But why is it using this as the default topic?

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks in advance

Laura
