Hello,
i 'd like to use a custom help file in my access application. the creation
and the implementation of the file worked fine(i used MS HTML Help Workshop).
but now my problem: if i copy the directory where the helpfiles(and .chm
etc.) are stored to any directory on the network the help files are not
displayed any longer. if i copy the files somewhere on my local drive,
everything works fine. btw i also compiled the files again, after the
location changed.

anyone here who has a suggestion ?
thanks marco

This is caused by the 896358 security update that Microsoft made
available via Windows Update in mid-June. See the following pages for
more information and workarounds:

I got the code from http://www.mvps.org/htmlhelpcenter/ and followed the
instructin to the letter, but when I press the F1 key, I got a dialog box
HTML Help Author Message, HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section when
executing the line:
Case Else
hwndHelp = HtmlHelp(Application.hWndAccessApp, HelpFileName, _
HH_HELP_CONTEXT, MycontextID)
Ideas?
