Problems with context-sensitive HTML made from importing FM 10 to RH9

Question

This worked in October and it doesn’t work now.
Start with a clean, well-formatted Frame 10 book with multiple chapters.  Chapters, Heading 1, 2 and 3 headings have various FM Markers TopicAlias with ID for calling the help.
Example of FM marker: ID_HELP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT
Import FM book to RH 9 –pointed to an AllStyles.fm doc as a template, pagination on the above 4 headings, cross-refs mapped, on the Other Settings page the Context Sensitive Help Marker is set to TopicAlias.
Import looks spiffy;  great TOC, Index, formatting, links, everything is exactly like I expected. Create chm file help. It looks great too. This part works well IMO.
My.h file is formatted with Hex number to match the application’s call.
Example:
#define ID_HELP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT 0x3F131
#define ID_HELP_EDITDATASET_TOOLBAR 0x3F132
Rename my mapping h file to BSSCDefault.h and put in root directory replacing the one RH makes.  [When RoboHelp makes an h file, the numbers it assigns do not match what my application calls for. Changing these is not an option. I have hundreds of mapped IDs.]
Reopen RH  and view the BSSCDefault. h file from RH. It has magically changed the Hex numbers to 6 digit numbers.
Example:
ID_HELP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT              258353      Saving Project Defaults as System Defaults
ID_HELP_EDITDATASET_TOOLBAR  258354      Editing Datasets Using the Mouse
The Mapped IDs are blue and are not locked.  My FM TopicAlias Markers are all listed as Map IDs, I have Map#s for them and they point to the correct topic.  The center panel  shows Assign as grayed out. The project that worked in October looked just like this too, I checked.
Recomplie. Place new chm file in application. It will open from the menu item for Help, it will open from F1 but it will not open from any of the mapped Help buttons.
I uninstalled/reinstalled RH 9 and tried reimporting/compileing with an unpatched version. No change, still borked.
There has not been a change in the application; there are no new IDs in this version. I tried the new compiled help in an older version of my application and it will not work. Same behavior.
Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem? What am i missing?

Answer 1

I dont use the settings file, I use a FrameMaker doc as a template. It has all my styles and I set the others before the import. There arent very many.
But, since you import from Frame, would you look at this and verify?
Looking at Map File in the Edit Map IDs dialog On the left the panel the Map ID is listed, then the Map # and finally the topic title.
Do your Topics show a notation at the end?
Example: Averaging Datasets #CSH_71
Then on the Topic panel if you find that same topic you see
Topic symbol -Averaging Datasets   [and the Topic properties show “no map ids for this topic]
Bookmark symbol -Averaging Dataset#CSH_71 [topic properties show the map id when you select it]
Bookmark symbol -Averaging Datasets#IX_averaging_datasets
Bookmark symbol-Averaging Datasets#XREF_25075_Averaging Datasets
I understand the Index and cross ref markers, but the isolated book mark is odd. You would think the notation would be on the topic
The chm file from October works in my latest build, and the developers swearz they changed NOTHING in the way it is called. I still have to talk to QM who do the builds just in case.
