.rft file disappeared after project compiling

[Niall77]

Hi Folks,

Yesterday afternoon I was working on a Robohelp project in word when I finished the project, compiled it and sent the .zip folder of the entire project to a developer for testing/ review.

This morning, after the developer replied with his comments, I checked the folder where the .rft file was stored to update the project. The help project 'start-up' file is no longer present. However, two previously unseen files have replaced them: a Help Project File and a Help Contents File. These files are from 'Microsoft Help Workshop'.

Does anyone know what I have done and how I can correct this issue? What are these Microsoft Help Workshop files? How can I open the source project to edit things like the Map IDs from here?

Thanks for any help that you're able to give.

Niall.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm guessing you are opening the project by double clicking the HPJ in Windows Explorer. Open RH first and point to that file.

Sounds like maybe the file association for HPJ needs changing.

Thanks a million Peter. That worked.

How do I change the file association for HPJ to prevent this happening in future or should I just open Robohelp first?

Thanks again,

Niall.

Window Explorer | Tools | Options | File Types.

Scroll down and change the associated program. If you are in doubt, maybe get IT or a developer to show.
