Loading Help file programmatically

I have created the .chm file for an application and have specified this in the project properties with a shortcut of F1 and that all works well. But I want to load it from a menu item. e.g. when mnuHelpHelp is clicked I want it to load the help file.

Can anyone please supply sample code to achieve this

Dene,

It's a bit of a hack, but ...

If F1 works for you, then [re-]use it!

Sub mnuHelpHelp_Click()
SendKeys "{F1}", True
End Sub

HTH,
