Hi there

In order for the built in glossary to work, you must also distribute a file named HHActiveX.dll. Your end user must also have the file registered with Windows in order for the CHM to present the glossary.

Thank you very much for your reply, it’s truly appreciated.

One quick question: I have followed the link below and understand the instruction to type at Run. However, do I need to copy the HHActiveX.dll file from my computer and then have my customer’s IT person paste that file into a particular Windows folder on a customer computer so the HHActiveX.dll file has a physical location when it is referenced by the instructions typed in at Run?

Regards,

David

Usually dlls get dumped in the \Windows\System\ folder, but they mostly can go anywhere - you may have an installer that packages the HHActiveX.dll, dumps it into the directory & registers it all in one shot.
