I am trying to open a *.hlp file from within MS Access 2007. I have already installed the update that allows me to view *.hlp files in Win7. I just need the code to allow me to open the file.
Current code
Private Sub cmd_Help_Click()
Shell ("C:\Program Files\Project\WTF.hlp")
End Sub
This code pops up the following :
Run-time error '5':
Invalid procedure call or argument

I suck at programming but try it like this?
Code: Select all
Private Sub cmd_Help_Click()
Dim Whtever As Integer
Whtever = Shell("C:\Program Files\Project\WTF.hlp", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
End Sub

Well I can only guess. Is the hlp file in the expected location?
Guess you'll have to stick around till the real programmers pitch?
