Nothing, no combination of property settings I can think of, will show
the correct help topic 456 when the cursor is in txtWhatever.

I did some tests and it works for me.

a) Try deleting the textbox and adding a new one, and just set the
HelpContextID.
b) Set the HelpContextID to other number to see what happen.

I have SP6 installed, may be that.

You're going to kick me for this: The next day I woke up refreshed
after a good night's sleep - and suddenly remembered that I had used
F1 as the shortcut key in the Help/Contents menu!

'nuff said. Yeah, I've been kicking myself ever since. All working
fine now. By the way, I've discovered the free version of Helpndoc and
it's absolutely fantastic! My previous initiation into Html Help,
using Microsoft's Html Help Workshop, was a huge PITA, but Helpndoc
makes the whole process completely painless.
