Private Sub MenuItem2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE C:\Temp\Help\help.htm", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, False)
End Sub
That will show the help file.. however you may want to find a way to have a variable for the location of the help file as most people won't put it in a temp directory ..
One option may be to have a setup put the help file in a directory of your choice
sorry out the frustration of not getting it to work and reading MS-VS help files for 6 hours I didn't really word my question properly. I was wondering if someone could stick in a "HelpProvider" and get it to show that file using the HelpProvider. I think I've read 300 pages of MS VS Help file and they just make a big circle and I can't figure it out.
But thanks for your reply Angelicus, I've written down your code and am sure I will use that info in the future :-)
