HTML Help files in Access my TOC displays but not page ? HELP !??

[Ron]

Hello All,
I've used HTML Help workshop to create a custom help for my Microsoft
access application.

I put a help button on a couple forms with the code done on the click
event.

However when I click on help my TOC opens and on the right pane I get
PAGE Can not be displayed. If I move through the table of contents
using the icons on the left it works OK.

For example I have a Student Form and a Help button on that form. I
have a StudentForm.htm file with a breif help. I want this to open up
to the StudentForm.htm when I click help so I coded DisplayHelp
(StudentForm)

And I get back a TOC and on the right side it says can not display
page. If I do properties the page it is trying to open is HelpFile.chm
if I click on the icons on the left to the Student Form it shows up
and then the properties say that it is trying to open StudentForm and
it does.

So my question is how can I make it open for the particular form that
help is being pushed on? For example I want the StudentForm.htm to be
opened when help is pressed here?

Hello Ron,

I don't have a Access example but maybe an Excel 2003 example is OK for you
to have a look at:

1.Download the example from:
http://www.help-info.de/en/Visual_Basic_Applications/vba.htm
2. Unzip the files, have a look at the *"Security Updates"* note, read more
here tand try:
http://www.help-info.de/en/Visual_Basic_Applications/vba_using_example.htm

Note there is a API call for the buttons ("Show help Context 10000 (API
call") - I think that's the call you are looking for. There are sme buttons
with different help calls.

You know - there is a link for the "Table of Contents" below the search
input text box in Access 2003 or Excel's 2003 default application help file
(Main Window F1 help).

Another thought:
The procedure for specifying the default topic is described in the topic "To
specify the default HTML topic file for a compiled help file" in HHW's help
file. This is available online at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconprjopt5.asp
