Can Rh11 Combine (Not Merge) multiple CHM files into a Single CHM file?

QUESTION:Is there a way for RoboHelp 11 to combine (Not Merge) multiple CHM files into a Single CHM file; if so, how?

ISSUE:

When users are using our 1099 Utility (Standalone version) help file (a.chm) and select’s (hit F1) a certain screen, the help topic, such as, the Transaction Review screen in the a.chm file, hence, the system can't locate it because it does not exist in the a.chm file. However, after I copied the b.chm (our AP application help) file in the bin directory where the 1099 Utility deploy's to, then the correct topic is found.

Note: This works properly on a mainline build because that build includes both a.chm and b.chm files. However, it does not work in the 1099 builds because it has only a.chm and this file does not contain a topic for this screen. The a.chm file has this topic. The problem is that the mapping between the Transaction Review screen that is open from 1099 Utility does not request the topic with this topic's ID that is specific for the a.chm.

Attempts made by the developers to reconcile between the application code and the a.chm help ID mappings to properly address the issue. However, I'm told it cannot be addressed in the code; the alternative approach is to start including the b.chm file with the 1099 Utility deployment. However, it is not a desirable solution.

That said…

Attempts to find a solution

1. RoboHelp Merge feature (e.g. Merging external CHM files):
   • Merging multiple CHM files from other projects work, providing the user to view 1099 help in a single help window. However, the CHMs used to merge to a master CHM still requires the child chm files (a.chm and a.chm) to be listed in the same directory where the master chm file resides.
2. Tried Utilities (Compile multiple CHM files into a Single CHM; they are as follows:

• HTML Help Workshop = Unsuccessful getting expected results
• CHMaggregator = Unsuccessful getting the utility to work

FURTHER INQUIRY: Are there any other utilities (not mentioned above) that could combine several separate chm files into one large chm?

Thank you,
