Custom Help in Access

[boardgamer]

I am having problems getting my custom help to work. My html is good. My chm file compiled OK. But when I try to reference it Access I get "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"
I tried to reference the help file by name (Its in the same directory), and by full path, both with same results. %-)

Which version of Access and which version of Windows are you running?

The article you sited relates to versions after XP and 2007 Access. Thank you for the effort.

Umm, no it applies to WINDOWS 7 and CHM files!!!!! It matters not which Access version you are using.

In fact, that article doesn't even MENTION Access. It is the CHM file that is the problem on windows 7. I don't know where you got the idea that it was related to versions after XP and 2007 Access?

Maybe I got confused as to the order of the operating systems, but there is not download for Winhlp32.exe for XP, just Vista, 7, Server 2008
