Access 2007 open *.hlp

[Mclaren]

Hi, i need code to enable me to open a *.hlp file from within vb code.

I can get it to open an *.exe file but not a *.hlp file.

Not included with Windows7. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

I have allready installed the update that allows users running Win7 to open .hlp files. I can open the file from explorer. What i need to do is open the file from access.

on some forms i have included a "Help" button which when clicked should open the relevant help file.

I see Win 7 uses HTML format for help files.

What method are you using to try and bring up the .hlp file?

I have tried the following.

Private Sub cmd_Help_Click()

Shell ("C:\Project\WTF.hlp")

End Sub
