HTMLHELP <path to .chm file> { , <topic filename> }
Just set an indicator in different parts of your program to reflect the context, and then use that to determine the topic filename parameter to use. _________________ The Tech Pro

Thanks Jules. Is it possible to trap the F1 key as well as provide a Help button or Help menu item?

I believe the HOTKEY command will do that...

If there is a button called HELP, then a HELPBUTTON event will occur when the F1 key is pressed. _________________ Joe Floyd |
