a .hlp file

To run your custom help file with a command button, write the following line of code for the onclick event of the button:

Shell &quot;C:\Windows\winhlp32.exe C:\Yourfolder\Yourhelp.hlp&quot;, vbNormalFocus

This runs the win help application, and tells it the path of your .hlp file to use.

Hope this helps

Nick,

Is it possible to have the help file open to the Index section when used in the command line you have postted above.

Do you know the code for how to use the .hlp file in the F-1 fuction context help ?


Thanks

Jazzz,

I am trying to use my hlp file so that when the user clicks the F-1 Key the subject for the section of help pops up. I have written the .hlp file with a program &quot;Help Creator&quot; located at C:\Program Files\Breit Technologies\Help Creator.

When I enter the Context Id for the subject I receive a blank help box.

It would be great if you could help me on this one.
