helpfile in msgbox "kon" <iliadisk[ at ]panafonet.gr> 12.09.2006 14:20:29 I have a code where I define where exactly the help file is (by default in current directory where the database is). In the forms in the help file field there is no problem Event when I change the location of the database. On the contrary on msgboxs the help file can't be located. Once I redefine the location then it's Ok. MsgBox("Show message", vbCritical + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2 + vbMsgBoxHelpButton, helpfilename,90) the helpfilename how can I define where it is in order to avoide the message cannot find the "filename".hlp file.Do you want to try to find this file yourself? Thank in advance

Consider having a function that determines the location of the MDB file, and creates the path to the help file using that information, and then use the function rather than a constant. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Re: helpfile in msgbox "kon" <iliadisk[ at ]panafonet.gr> 12.09.2006 21:38:37 Can you give me an example ? Why the folowing doesn't work MsgBox("My message;", vbCritical + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2 + vbMsgBoxHelpButton, "My title of message", helpfile:=currentproject.path &"\"& "myfile.hlp", Context:=95) Can't find the myfile.hlp and prompts for help location ? Of course if once you spesify the location it keeps it till you change again the location. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advace. "Douglas J.
