    What is the easiest way to activate F1 Help from a menu? Should I use SendKeys?

    Go to Project > Properties. The 3rd TextBox down should have a label above it saying Help File Name. Enter the path to your Help File in TextBox and click OK.

    When you run your App, press F1 and the Help File you specified should open.

    Thanks for the reply, Megatron. I've already got the Help file set up for F1. Is there a way to link a helpfile to a menu selection in the Menu Editor. I would like the user to click on a choice in the menu and have the Help file displayed.

    Use the shellexecute API, or the Common Dialog.ShowHelp

    Think that'll do the work
