    Hi,

    I used MS HTML Help Workshop to create the help file for my application. The *.chm file I created works pretty good, but when I copied the *.chm file to another computer, I can only see the contents tree and the right side of the windows showing "Navigation to the webpage was canceled." Even I copied the whole folder containing the original *.html files, it still didn't work. I think it is the problem of referring to the *.html files when creating *.chm file. Can anybody tell me how to fix it? I want my *.chm to be viewed on any computer, not just mine.

    I had tried to check if it is the problem of XP SP2 protection, but I didn't find any option to unblock the file coming from another computer after right clicking the *.chm and selecting properties.

    Thank you in advance!

    Did you use relative links for the html pages? In other words, don't use <a href= "domain/folder/file.xxx ">Link</a>.

    Link to other pages with <a href= "folder/file.xxx ">Link</a>.

    Don't use an absolute (full) path to the file in the anchor. Use a relative path.
