Custom Help

Hi List,
we have a custom application, P584210, which is a copy of P4210. When I go into Help/Contens in the original application the Account Payable Help screen pops up. When I do the same in P584210 I get an error saying that \\DS\b7333\helps\E58.hlp is not available (and this file indeed does not exist).
How can I fix this so that the Account Payable help will come up? Where is the connection between an app and it´s help file?

Thanks, Gerd

Hi,
Im just writing a white paper in this area!

Go into OMW - and go into design mode for the app. Select View forms.

Select the form you want and you will see the Help file name and the ID. I am not completely sure why but look for Exxx (e.g. EAAB.hlp) in the B7/Helps folder and this will be the help file for xxx on the form. The ID shows where to "start from" when the help/how too is clicked.

My guess is that these are not correct.

I hope this helps (so as to speak!)

Best regards

Peter

PS There may be another way to view/update this information but this is the only way I know

Thanks Peter, your answer was very helpful. I already fixed the problem.
