Can anyone help me please? i am trying to open a .CHM help file via a
command button on my form.
I have tried using SHELL but that doesnt work, presumably because it
is not a .EXE.

any help greatly appreciated

In the past I have used something like this in VB6:

Shell("hh.exe " & App.Path & "\MyHelpFile.chm", 1)

Try something similar (i.e., using the reference to hh.exe but
something other than App.Path to determine the path to the CHM file).
