Hi All,

I am going to use easy help to create my hlp files. I want to just have a
button on my form that says HELP. I would like to then set it up so that I
open the .hlp file. What would my Shell command read?

Define the help file name/location in Access, then it will respond to the F1
and/or Help menu selection to display your file. You can also set
form/control references to particular help bookmarks to display
context-sensitive help. No shell command needed.
