That certainly is the right solution. But, too many of our customers will object to a vendor suggesting they disabling the SP1 security block. I suspect moving the help file to "C" will be the require fix.

This will disabable the security block that SP1 imposed

John provided the link below to explain why CHM Help files in your application no longer work.

Curious what other developers are doing. I don't see my user IT folks removing those restrictions anytime soon. My thought is to have the user enter a UNC pointing to a shared/safe server location and then have my application load that address at runtime. Any other suggestions?
Currently my app launches something like:
SET VAR vcpmschm = +
("HH|mk:@MSITStore:" + (CVAL("CURRDIR")) + "\Cpms.chm::/AlternateParts.htm")
LAUNCH .vcpmschm
RETURN
TIA,
Dennis
