F1 Help in BDS 2006

I have Pro v7.08 in BDS 2006, and the F1 help does not appear to work.
It was fine in Delphi 7. How do I correct this ?

Hi Mike,

This is because in BDS the help system format was changed from traditional .hlp files to HTML help format. There is a Borland's unit to make both systems compatible but we had to remove it from TeeChart as it crashed full BDS2006 help system.

For now the only solution is openning and browse the help file manually.

Thanks for the reply.
Your suggestion is what I have been doing.
All worked in Delphi 7
Regards

you can add a "Tool" in the Delphi menu "tools" that open the help of teechart.

then, you can acces the help by keyboard pressing "Alt", "t" and the letter you choosed.

you won't have the context help, but a smal copy-past solve this problem.
