> Subject: Trouble viewing a sent chm file
>
> I have a client who cannot view the content (beyond the top
> level) of a chm file that I have sent.
> The full story is as follows:
> in order for the file to pass the email gateway it has to be
> changed to a .txt extension. Once received the extension is
> changed back to .chm and the file is opened. It opens but
> shows only the top folder. When the folder is double-clicked
> it does not expand downwards into the nice structure that I
> see when I have copied his actions.
> The client says that a message referring to a missing server
> (unable to
> locate) is displayed. I have checked but can find nothing
> that should be looking outside the compiled help.
> The file (compiled using HTML Help) retains its size through
> this process.
>
> As an interim measure I have zipped and sent the html and
> images, but I would really like to know what is going on here.
