I posted these questions 3 days ago. Is someone going to answer them? Thank
you.

It would seem you could answer your own questions with just a little experimentation....


I have VB6 Learning Edition. I want to have some kind of Help & I don't want
to go thru the hassle of learning HTML Help or Windows Help. I can use an
external text file, but if the file is missing then VB will complain. I'd
like to experiment with the Resource Editor.

That's a good idea, go ahead, experiment....


What is the maximum number of characters allowed in a resource string?

Have you experienced a loss of data? Try the largest string you expect to use,
and see if there is need for concern....


Can I use Notepad to create the help
file & then copy the text into the Resource Editor?

It would take less than 15 seconds to test this yourself. Why not try it and see?
