Hi there

Assuming other pages are displaying fine, I'm guessing the network isn't the issue here.

Unfortunately, RoboHelp does a poor job of effectively helping those of us that like CHM format. What is happening to you is that nothing has been configured for the Home button. So you will have to take the following steps.

Open the Project Set-up pod.

Ensure you have a CHM window defined.

Click the Advanced Properties button.

Add the path and file name to the Home field. (You will need to be somewhat careful that you get this spot on if your page is in a folder)

Click OK to dismiss the Advanced Windows Properties dialog.

Click OK to dismiss the Window Properties dialog.

Re-compile the CHM and your Home button should now work.

Cheers... Rick

Oops... I see that I never advised that you should open the Window Properties!

SHAME on me!

I'm off to sit in the corner for an hour now... Rick

Hello,

I am facing the same problem for the Home button. I tried your solution and it worked for the one of my CHMs. But, I have an issue. I am using one CHM window for 6 different CHM files that I am generating from one project. If I set a specific html file in the Home field, then I am getting the error for other CHM file.

How we can configure the Home button for different CHMs in one project.
