I have tried all your suggestions and have also tried a few other things in the last few days and have been unable to get it to work. The program is a petrol pump simulator and is a project for school. The help files are located in the jar file in a folder called help. The problem i believe is to do with the fact i am accessing them as a URL because i also have a txt file in the jar file in a folder called data which the program can read and write from perfectly well. So at the moment i am stumped. Any suggestions are welcome, i am willing to look at other method other than using URL url = HelpDialog.class.getResource("help"+File.separator+children[i].getName());
TO get the HTML files so they can be displayed in the JEditorDialog.
Thanks so far for the help and for any future help.
