I hope someone can help me with the following problem.

I have created a helpfile for a program written in VB 4.0 (16 bit)
using Microsoft Help Workshop 4.03 and declarated the helpfile in the
project. If I use the F1-Key (using the SENDKEY-statement) I' m always
getting the Windows Helpfile and not my helpfile.

I' mworking under Windows NT 4.0.

I've tried the same program under Windows 95 and it works great.

Who can help me?

Set   app.helpfile   to your help filename.

Hi, Mike :)

To call your own help file, it would be better to use the Windows help
api subroutines.

There are a couple of ways to do this.  

1. Use the VB common dialog control
There is a Windows help mode for this control that lets you call any
help file easily. Look at the online help for the command specifics.
This method requires you distribute the common dialog controls along
with your application.

2. Use the API calls directly.
This isn't too hard, really.  Look at the API veiwer add-in with VB for
cut and paste subroutine definitions.

You can also get pre-built and tested subroutines to do this. Our free
help authoring tool for VB programmers creates all of these routines
automatically. The program is called "VB HelpWriter" and can be
downloaded from our website at http://www.teletech-systems.com.

Hope this helps...
