Nah... just a two liner: set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell("start ""e"e&"e&Helpfile.chm"e)
Monte,
I forgot to explain that the help file needs to be called this way in order for different executables to share the same help file. That is why the HtmlHelp API must be used rather than just opening the help file using shell.
Do you mean at the same time? It seems odd either way. Opening a file is
opening a file whichever way you look at it. Have you tested it?
Yes. There is one help file that is shared among 4-5 applications. Any/all of these apps could be open at the same time. When calling the help file, each application must be able to tell the help file where to start within the file. App A needs to start on the start page for App A, App B on the start page for App B.
If App A opens the help file and then the user opens App B and clicks on help then the already open help file needs to navigate to the start page for App B. Does this make sense?
I haven't done tests on this myself, this were the instructions provided to me by my client. I asked about other methods but this is the way they said it had to be done. They know Windows inside and out so I'm pretty sure this is how it has to be done to accomplish the desired behavior.
