When I click on the Help choice in the Help Menu, I have a message error who say :

The help file 'index.html' is missing. It should be in a sub-directory called 'help'.

But Inscribe find this file and present me in my browser the help.

In my Inscribe folder on my computer, I have the sub-directory 'help" with all the help files.

The same error msg comes with

i.Scribe test 23
Windows XP SP1
Tabbed browser based on Internet Explorer

But it very well opens 'help' in browser. No problem for that. Only just the error msg comes.

I will check by using IE as default browser and will post the report here.

Ok Mathew.,

I tested by having Internet Explorer as Default Browser. Now there is no error msg and it opens the help page perfectly in IE.

So it is the problem with Browser!!!.

the browser that I use (DeepNet) is based to IE too.

Why is it good with IE and not with another browser ?

What's is the difference between browser which send an error message when trying to open a .html file ?

What I'm doing was checking the return code from ShellExecute, and when that fails show the error message.

Obviously with some browsers the return code could be an error even when the document is shown.

So I've changed the code to check for file existance instead of the execute return code.
