The problem is fixed. It was my index.html help file.
I choose to open it directly with Help Viewer and some
strange characters appears such as JJJJJ.
I delete this file and recreate it with BBedit.
Everything is ok now.
Jessica, for your help you win a..... camembert !!! ;-)

Could you please take a look inside your built application to make sure
that the entire help folder has been copied into the Resources section
of the bundle?
Also, please check the permissions on that help folder, and its
contents. If it's not readable by the user running the application,
you'll have problems.
Finally, are you quitting Help Viewer before trying your application?

Thx for the response .. but.. I added my help folder as you said.
In fact, i followed these instructions :
------------------
1. Launch Project Builder and choose New Project from the File menu.
2. Choose to create a Carbon or Cocoa Application, and follow along
with the Assistant to finish creation of your project.
3. Click on the Resources group in the file view.
4. From the Project menu, choose Add Files.
5. Navigate to your help book folder, click on it, and hit the Open
button.
6. Make sure the "Create Folder References for any added folders"
radio button is selected, and hit the Add button.
7. Click on the Targets tab, and then the application's target (in the
upper left), to edit your application's target settings.
8. In the Application Settings panel, set the Identifer for your
application (to something unique, like
com.yourcompany.yourapplication).
9. Hit the Expert button to add the two custom help keys with string
values, CFBundleHelpBookFolder, and CFBundleHelpBookName. These should
be set to the name of the folder you added to your project, and the
AppleTitle defined in your main help file, respectively.
10 - <snip> (Carbon app only)
11. Cocoa applications only: Open up your MainMenu.nib and set the
title of your help menu item to the name of your application, followed
by the word "Help", with command-? as the keyboard shortcut.
12. Hit the build button. Once the build has completed, run your new
application. You should have a working help menu at this point, and
your help book should appear in the Help Center listing.
----------------
...and it appears nothing is working for me.
Other idea ?

Hi,
If you look at the built product that Project Builder produces for
you, is the entire "MyApp Help" folder in the Resources section of
your application somewhere? One of the more confusing points of
getting the help added to your application successfully is that you
need to add the "MyApp Help" folder to the Resources section of your
project as a "folder reference," and if that didn't happen right,
then the entire folder won't be present in the built application.

Hello,
After reading all about how to create Help in PB project for cocoa
app. i still have a problem.
Clicking on Help menu in my application i have only the Help Center
instead of my help book.
I built a folder for my help files named : MyApp Help.
In this folder i have an index.html file with <meta
name="AppleTitle" content="MyApp Help">
inside.
My help folder is imported in my PB project.
In info.plist i added these two keys :
CFBundleHelpBookFolder with MyApp Help
CFBundleHelpBookName with MyApp Help
Something is missing ?
Thx.
Kub.
