Access Runtime - How to link Help file to Help Menu

[number2]

I need to link my help file to the HELP menu in the Run Time version of my application. How do I do this?

HTMLHelp? Look here:

I have an Access application that uses a HTMLHelp file, the above link was my starting point to get it working.

Yikes! That is scary hard. I may have to do with simple F1 key functionality.

It only looks hard. Off the top of my head, the basics were:

0. Get HTML Help Workshop if you don't have it yet.
1. Download the DLL, install and include in the Access module.
2. Cut n paste the example code into the module.
3. Add buttons and event handlers to forms.

To add help to the menu, I had to use a macro instead of VBA code.

It was a bit intimidating at first, but the whole thing took about an hour or so of bumbling around and has worked 100% since then.
