Opening html Help File

[Chris]

Hi all

I have a simple html file with 2 frames, as my Help file
to my DB.
It consists of 3 parts:

Help.htm = Is the main file with the 2 frames.

Index.htm = Is the left frame as a index with hyperlinks
in it, link to bookmarks in the right frame.

Contents.htm = Is the right frame with the help
catagories, headed by bookmarks, linked to the hyperlinks
from the left frame.

The code I'm using now opens the file but doesn't jump to
the bookmark that is called.

strAppPath = CurrentProject.Path
strBookMark = "#Setup"

strAppName = "c:\program files\internet
explorer\iexplore.exe "
_
& strAppPath & "\Help\Help.htm" & strBookMark

Call Shell(strAppName, 3)

If I call, contents.htm alone with the bookmarks in it.
It jumps to the required bookmark, no problem.

Its when I call, help.htm with the two frames in it, that
the coding for the bookmarks, dosen't seem to work. It
opens the help file, but doesn't jump to the called
bookmark.

P.S.
Any ideas of calling "iexplore.exe", without using the
string
"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe "

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem.

Chris

Instead of using the shell command you could use:

Application.FollowHyperlink(PATH_TO_HTML_FILE)

I don't know about calling a bookmark in a framed site though but it does
work with bookmarks on a single page.
