Compiler trying to compile a web site address

[Gary Niemen]

We run our HTML Help compilation and it works fine - it builds and everything works okay.
Even so, in the log, we get the following message:

HHC5003: Error: Compilation failed while compiling \\eu-sto-www03\Documents\help_projects\prime_help\PRIME43\Output\ricber01\Temporary\HTMLHelp\Content\http:\www.frontarena.com\contact.
The following files were not compiled:
\\eu-sto-www03\Documents\help_projects\prime_help\PRIME43\Output\ricber01\Temporary\HTMLHelp\Content\http:\www.frontarena.com\contact

This seems really odd - it seems to find a web site address (http:\www.frontarena.com\contact - the address of our company web site) in the root folder and tries to compile it as a file. And then it can't of course.

Does anybody know what might be going on here?

Hi, Gary,

Is "www.frontarena.com\contact" the target of a custom button that you've added to the toolbar of the help viewer? If so, this is a known issue with the HTML Help compiler, and one that you can safely ignore. Essentially, the compiler isn't smart enough to realise that you don't want to compile the target Web page into your help file — which it tries and fails to do.

I think that is probably it - thank you.
