You need to create the help book bundle in your built application's Resources folder. It sounds like you may not be aware that a built application is actually a folder (bundle) with a specific structure. If that's the case, you should read this first: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/BundleTypes/BundleTypes.html Xcode creates a "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase for your target by default when you use any of the Cocoa Application Templates. Any files/folders in the Copy Bundle Resources build phase are copied into your application's Resources folder when you build the app. So, to create the help bundle, just create a folder with the structure for the help book as described in the documentation and put it in your project folder with your other files. You then tell Xcode about it by dragging it into the Groups and Files pane for your project. However, because you want Xcode to copy the folder you must use the "Create folder references for any added folders" when Xcode asks you what you want to do with the file, otherwise your folder won't be treated as a file and won't be copied to your app on build. -- Rob Keniger _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
