Open Specific file in IE

[mikelev]

Access 2000

I am creating HTML help files with Robo Help. Then launching the help files in IE with the OnClick event.

The following is the URL I would like to pass to IE.

C:/StraightEdge/Help/Welcome.htm#Employee_Time_Off_Application.htm

The first part of the URL "C:/StraightEdge/Help/Welcome.htm" opens the general help file with no topic specified. The help screen has a left and right pane, with the left being the navigation pane used to display the help context tree.


The second part of the URL "#Employee_Time_Off_Application.htm" displays that specific help topic in the right pane of IE.


I have the following code on the OnClick Event:

Application.FollowHyperlink "C:/StraightEdge/Help/Welcome.htm#Employee_Time_Off_Application.htm"

It appears as if Access does not like the "#" since this returns "C:/StraightEdge/Help/Welcome.htm" in the address bar.

Also tried:

Application.FollowHyperlink "C:/StraightEdge/Help/Welcome.htm" & "#" & "Employee_Time_Off_Application.htm"

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers,

And if you type "C:/StraightEdge/Help/Welcome.htm#Employee_Time_Off_Application.htm" directly in the browser, does it work?

Yes it works perfectly.

Just an update, the following fixed my problem.

Application.FollowHyperlink "C:\StraightEdge\Help\Welcome.htm", "#Employee_Time_Off_Application.htm"
