How to display a custom message when I select Help/About on my executable?

I am using Labview 8.0.1

Thanks.

Check out VI Properties>>Documentation. Here you can build a help file for your top level (or any) vi.

Hope this helps.

Actually, you just need to create a VI called 'About'. Open the on-line help and do a search for 'About'. It will tell you exactly what to do.

Here is my template "About.vi"

In your top-level VI, under VI Properties>Documentation there is place for a "Help path". You can create and save an html document and put the link to this document in the Help path. While the application is running the operator can press F1 and the default web browser will open this link. I've written software user guides in Word, saved a copy as an html and linked to it in the Help path.

Thank you all for your help. I got it to work now.

Dennis, did you work for Aspen Test Eng? If so did you do some programming for QualMark for their test chambers? I have some LabView questions for someone that knows about QualMarks hardware.
