Very nice Paul, thanks for sharing. I've used .RC files before to include other things as resources in executables, but what you've shared looks like a great use for it.

From many of the ideas expressed in the past in this group, and a some help from Google ( http://delphi.about.com <http://delphi.about.com> , Jan Verhoeven http://www.jansfreeware.com/articles/delphiresource.html, Peter D Johnson, Llanarth, Ceredigion, Wales, UK http://www.delphidabbler.com/articles?article=10 ) I ended up with the following approach which so far is proving very robust. And shared here in case any one is looking for a low key and straight forward approach. I would appreciate any feedback or improvements please. >From at least Delphi 2005 (if not D7?) forward there is an integration in the IDE that allows you to create a .RC file and include it in the project so that the resulting RES file compiles into the executible automatically. Well that will not be news to many, but this gives the opening to easily build html type help directly into a project with a minumin of effort. (e.g. {$R 'html.res' 'html.rc'} ) [snip]
