 HELP calling Custom HELP

Hello,

Thank your for looking at my post. I am trying to call a help file called
ssearch.chm which resides in the same directory as my database. The help
file is general and not context sensative. I would like my users to be able
to call it by going to help on a menu bar and when they press the f1 key.

I have a custom menu bar in which all of the forms, reports etc, are called
from a module called menu_module. All of which works fine except of course
the ability to call help.

Any assistance you can render in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rick
