What I mean is:

Instead of having a help file built into the software and possibly become outdated...

Is there a way to link to a web page, etc. that has constant updates of frequently asked help questions, videos, tutorials, known bugs etc?


I know the installation part has a Help URL, but if I understand the new manual correctly, that URL is just used for the installation screen process and not in the actual program?

Hey Dexx,

Couldn't you just build a help page on a web page that you can update on an ongoing basis and add that as a browser in the application? You could then create a tab called "Help" within the application that displays this web page.

Now that is what I call thinking outside the box! Never thought of that! That's what I'll do, thanks man! :)

Yes, there will be a way to add a help pdf file that will be included as part of the installation. When the end user clicks on the help button, the pdf will open. :)
