If user is using windows xp/vista, shell macro can execute IEXPLORE c:\help.htm which loads a page called help.htm. DPMouse can launch the macro. Or you can load a text editor with text help if you don't like html. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Pedersen [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 9:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dataperf] HTML
Yet, it seems like an easy and important component in the transition to WinDp. Such a product would have to support XML/HTML. Allowing DP to use this as a help documentation would be a good first step. ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2009 10:28:01 +1100 Subject: Re: [Dataperf] HTML Hi Chris, I don’t think you will get any luck with DP itself on this, however I have heard of a DOS TSR which creates hyperlink of whatever looks like a valid URL’s on the screen… I have just gone for a quick search for it on my PC, as I thought I had downloaded it but alas no luck. I can’t even remember what it as called, and I didn’t even try it, but I thought it could be something useful… It is probably worth searching Google for it. I had a quick search then and couldn’t find it, but I think it was on a site with a large number of other DOS utilities.

Oft times, I find the required help for a panel exceeds the dos capabilities or convenience of dataperfect. Two questions/suggestions; the first is simpler, the second more of an extension to the first. 1. Is it possible to pass a url in the help panel as a way of passing additional help for the database - procedures (or an index code, so it jumps to the appropriate page). 2. Would it be possible to link an external web page to a field: Ie., when a person clicks on a field, the sidekick browser gets passed a webpage. That webpage has all the help required for the field.
