My HELP files in C++ Builder 5 does not work correctly.  If I press
help, the dialog comes up with three tabs.  The Contents and Find tabs
seem correct.  The Index tab brings up the incorrect information.
Here is an example.  I type in Tedit on the Index tab.  The second
window shows:
 TEdit
                ~Tedit
                Tedit

I click on the Display button and it brings up a document on
TdataModule::OnDestroy.
Is this something I can fix or is a link problem in the help section.
I should mention that not all the links are incorrect as best as I can
tell.

Maybe a custom install of just the help? I don't know. When I have a
problem with finding something in the help, then if I have a clue, I
simply put a comment in my open .cpp file, type the item I want to
know about ("TEdit" in your case) back the cursor into it, and press
F1. -So far- it's worked every time.

You might try navigating to the Help directory and hiding by renaming
(not *deleting yet* )the .gid file whose help you were looking at.
Then see if Windows generates a new .gid file when you click on the
Index tab.  If you're not sure of the name of the Help file involved,
double-click on the .hlp files in the Help directory that seem likely,
until you find the right one.  I don't have BCB5, be check the borland
site regularly for patches and new help files.

I deleted the ".gid" files and now it seems to work.  Thanks.
