Opening a HLP file

[HornyAZNBoy]

I've just wrote a hlp file to a program I just completed. Now I want to open that hlp file with a command on my program. I've tried using the Call Shell(C:/WINDOWS/Cris/desktop/MS Skill Book/Skill Book.exe) method and it works fine, but now I want to send it to a friend and I want him to be able to open that hlp file, but his computer name isn't Cris. Any suggestions?

I've also tried this method and it is not working.

Command1_Click( )
CommonDialog1.H elpFile = "help.hlp"
CommonDialog1.S howHelp
MsgBox ("Help File Showed")

CommonDialog1
HelpCommand 1
HelpContext 1
HelpFile help.hlp

Help.hlp
I have my help file in the same folder as my program.

maybe you can use APP.PATH

the code would look like this

Call Shell(APP.PATH & "\Skill Book.exe")

or you can embed that file thru an OLE object

like this

OLE1.CreateLink APP.PATH & "\Skill Book.exe"
OLE1.DoVerb
