We have a requirement to provide "on-line help" to our Visual Basic program. What I believe they mean is the sort of Help functionality that one normally sees in C++ generated program.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

when click the button ...
launch the IE window with the URL that direct to your specific help file

lol put a hot-line number in the program top most corner

;p any assistant please call : xxx-xxxxxxx
24hours

What type help manual u wanna used? the normal help document or html based...

Do you mean this one

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....conHH1Start.asp

or this one

http://www.helpmaster.com/hlp-developmentaids-hcw403.htm

try this - html help workshop

You need to explain further what time of help file you want to use. There are .chm, .hlp and so on. Please be precise. Thanks

I think since time in development is a big deal. I will take this approach. How would I go about doing this?

try a buildon online chat program.
