I have some Help documents for a program. For the help system, I'd like
to have the user push a button and have a window pop up and display the
HTML help files in a WebBrowser Control. This is pretty easy and
works. The problem is that I've been asked to make the help files
internal to the program - compiled into the resource file to prevent
anyone from tampering with them. I'm not sure this can be done, and
even if it can, how do I load it into a WebBrowser?

Hmm...

Have you considered generating the help files as CHM instead?

You don't need to load it into a control per se. It would load
independently, say the way SQL Server 2000 books online loads. Would that
be a workable solution for you?

For sure!
I was looking it up and found that Microsoft has a tool called HTML
Help Workshop. What's the latest version? I installed the one on
Microsoft's Website (version 1.3) but it tells me that i have a newer
version installed (won't tell me WHAT version is already installed
though).
 
Try e-help from Adobe (the product may be called something else now).
That way you can avoid using a Microsoft solution (solution - lol).
