using HTML help in Vista

B

Bill

I am using the vbMsgBoxHelpButton in several places in my Access 2003 code.
This works on a Windows XP installation (although the help opens in an Access
help window) but I get an error message "Unable to display help" when it runs
in Vista.

....... vbOKOnly + vbInformation + vbMsgBoxHelpButton, "Deletion prohibited",
"charitymaster.chm", 150

I have programmed around Microsoft's almost complete lack of support for
HTML Help in Access so every other type of call to my help file is working in
Vista. I have stored the location of the help file in the registry
(Software\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help).

I really would like to fix this rather than present my customers with a
"mickey mouse" solution.
