hi, How can i call a helpfile within VB as if i was pressing the F1 button. With this type of programming i only get the index or content of my helpfile:
Set the App object's HelpFile property and set a form's HelpContextID property to the number of a topic in the help file. Now when the user presses F1 the help file will be opened at that topic. If you want a topic about a specific control set the control's HelpContextID and this will be used in preference to the HelpContextID of the form.

I'm sorry David, i was afraid i was not clear enough. When pushing the F1 button you get the "MAIN opening help screen". I want THIS emulated without pressing F1 (i want to have a menu entry). In programming form i only get topics,index etc. wich i don't need.
