I need help with opening a help file
in [Forms]

Prev: Sequential Numbering
Next: Help with syntax.
From: Afrosheen via AccessMonster.com on 9 Mar 2010 09:34 I have a form that when I open it will display the help file. Every time I try this I get the Open, Save, or Cancel commands. This is the code I'm trying to use. Me.WebBrowser0.Navigate "e:\nci database\nci taps\working taps\taps 03-03\ taps-help.chm" I don't care if it opens in a browser or not I just want it to display the help file and its content. I know I can set the Help File and Help Context Id for the individual screens. This is the main help file I'm trying to display. Thanks for your help. -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com

From: Afrosheen via AccessMonster.com on 9 Mar 2010 12:37 Thanks for getting back to me Doug.. Here's what I did. I had a menu tool bar so I just added the new menu I copied and pasted the code in to a new module I created a new macro called MacHelp with RunCode Function Name: ShowContents I made sure the MyHelp.chm file was the same location as the database. I get the error: Can not find the name ShowContents I don't think I've entered the wrong information Douglas J.

From: Douglas J. Steele on 9 Mar 2010 13:19 Is this a stand-alone module, or is it a class module, or a module associated with a form or report? What's your code for ShowContents? -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/DJSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Stand alone module called: MyHelp In the macro I just have: ShowIndex This is part of the code in the module Public Function ShowIndex() As Long ShowIndex = HTMLHelpStdCall(0, "myhelp.chm", HH_DISPLAY_INDEX, 0) End Function Douglas J.
