I have a compiled Hypertext UserGuide (*.chm) that is launched via the Help Menu option to view the User Guide. The UserGuide is stored in the application directory and is launched thru menu action with the following code: Dim sh As New Shell sh.Execute( G_App_Path + "UserGuide.chm" ) Return True The UserGuide displays without issue on Windows platforms. However, a Linux user tells me that nothing happens on his Linux machine when he selects the "UserGuide" from the Help menu. The user states that he can go to the application directory and double click on the UserGuide.chm file to open it. He reports that it displays just fine when opened directly - but not through the menu option. Any ideas what is going wrong ?
