I'm trying to create context sensitive help for the program I'm working on, and rather than put all the help data in with the source code I'd like to use separate html files (like the F1 key help in DBC)

Can it be done?

Erm can't you just use the:

execute file "Help.html","","(Directory)Help\"

Command?

Try it out with your file, but it depends on what version of DB your using DBC or DBP... I think it may only work in DBP

Cheers,

Thanks Bozzy!

The command is only in DBPro, but there's a very similar one in DBC called Shell Execute - I couldn't figure out what it did before, but it's got the same parameters as execute file!

Thank you!
