The correct map id number was intially there and in the field, the F1 Help screens are pulling up correctly. When I print the Map IDs report, none of the affected topics print that they have mapping. The mapping seems like it is gone, but when I am able to pull up the mapping, the mapid is there, but there is no map number.

Thank you for your response.

I am not sure when this started to occur. I don't normally check the mapping unless a screen has changed and the mapping id changes. Many screens are changing in this particular project, so it is now that I have found this problem.

I inherited the Help from someone who is no longer available, so I do not have the original mapping information set for each topic that needed mapping.

There are 5 map files in this project. I have printed the Map Ids report and all five map files show on the report and I have tested a couple topics from each map file and the mapping is correct. So, the answer to your question if the problem is seen with ALL topics that have a mapid is no. Also, none of the topics that have this issue are listed on the report and I cannot tell which map file they should belong to.

In addition to the 5 map files, there are mappings that show under the <Project Map File>. The topics that show under this map file also show on the map id report and they work correctly. Only three topics show here - is that correct or should all the topics in this project show here?:

Here are the files that show in this project directory, if this information is useful:

HH File:

censusder.hh

dbcensus.hh

dccensus.hh

globcens.hh

qtcensus.hh

H file (this seems to be 'Project Map File')

BSSCDefault.h

The name of the project is Qtcensus, so not sure if these files have anything to do with mapping or not, but will list them anyways:

HHC File:

Qtcensus.hhc

HHK File:

Qtcensus.hhk

I just ran a test and compiled the project and updated my program with the new .chm file. The F1 Help screens are still working, so the mapping seems to still be working on the screens that seem to no longer have mapping.

Please let me know if I can provide further specific information and if screen shots are more helpful, please let me know if you want me to email those to you.

Thanks!

I went to the Edit Mapids dialog box for one of the topics that is having the issue. The Map ID does not show on the left hand side of the Edit Map Ids screen when I select All Map Files or any other map file. This screen print shows the Context-sensitive Help Properties for the Topic, RegulatoryComplianceForm_DC_plans_Overview for the topic, but as you can see under Map IDs, the map id does not show:

Sometimes, if I double click on the topic on the right, the mapid will then appear on the left, but when I open the mapid, the map number is 0. This does not always happen, most of the time, what is occuring in the screen above is what happens. The topic shows a map id assigned to the topic when you go to the Context-sensitive Help Properties for the Topic, but the actual mapping does not show in the Edit Mapids dialog box, nor does it show when I print the MapIDs report.
