Bookmark Code for HTML Page

[ChrisR]

Hi everyone

I have a 2002 Access MDB, which uses a HTML page with bookmarks in it,
as a Help File.

The problem is not accessing the help file, but opening it to the
proper bookmark.

I use this code in a Help Command Button on all the Forms to open the
html:
strAppName = "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore " _
& strAppPath & "\Help\Help.htm"
Call Shell(strAppName, 3)

This opens the file as the start.
And Ive tried this code with the same result.

strAppName = "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore " _
& strAppPath & "\Help\Help.htm#BookMarkName"
Call Shell(strAppName, 3)

Any help would be appreicated.

Have fun
Thanks

Take your:

strAppName = "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore " _
& strAppPath & "\Help\Help.htm#BookMarkName"

debug.print the result, then type the result verbatim into the Start:Run box
& see if that works. If it does, your code *should* work, surely.

HTH,
TC
