I am not sure if this is the right are to post this, but it seemed to be the closest.

I have a .CHM help file ready to go and I'd like to place a button in my Access database. I read up on how to add it here initially:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296231

This didn't seem to work when I pressed F1, and I made sure the file was in the same folder as the database (along with the other steps).

I then tried using VBA code from both of these links:

http://www.nogoodatcoding.com/howto/...-help-workshop

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.10%29.aspx

I understand that the first seems to reference just VB, and the second is for Excel. I did try to manipulate the code, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know a VBA code that will refer to the .CHM help file?

Hi HeatShiver

I created a CHM help file some while ago, and used the following code:
CODE
Public Function OpenFormHelp(intHelpID as Long )
On Error GoTo err_OpenFormHelp
        
    Dim strFileName As String
    strFileName = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\HelpFileName.chm"
    IF Dir(strFileName) = "" Then
        Msgbox "Unable to find Help File",vbInformation,"Help File Error"
        Exit Function
    End IF

    If HtmlHelp(0, strFileName, &HF, intHelpID) = 0 Then  
        MsgBox "Unable to find topic in Help file.", vbExclamation, "Help File Error"
    End if

exit_OpenFormHelp:
    Exit Function
    
err_OpenFormHelp:
    MsgBox err.Description, vbOKOnly, "Help File Error"
    Resume exit_OpenFormHelp
    
End Function

You don´t need any VBA Code to refer to a help file...

Did you set the Helpfile path and HelpContextId properly?

How did you create your .CHM file? With HTML Help Workshop? Map.h and Alias.h are correctly attached?
