Linking application to custom.chm file

I have a custom application that I have completed. I have used the HTML Help workshop to create a custom help .chm file. How do I link the .chm to my access application? I also have a custom ribbon with a help button that I would like to initiate the custom help with. From my application I chose the properties of the applicaiton from Visual basic and entered the path to the .chm. However when I press the "F1" key I am getting the following error: "Cannot open the file: mk: @MSITStore:Appname.chm"
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Open the customise window on the custom menu. Now go to the help tab on the custom menu and right click. Go to properties and go down to help file. Make sure the full path to the chm file is in there.

That worked. The F1 command now works. The other problem I am having is I have a cutom ribbon with a help button. I cannot figure out how to click the button and open the custom help file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing really but right click on the ribbon and go to customise. Then right click on the help button and check the path in the properties.

There is not an option on the ribbon button to customize.

I just realised you are using Access 2007

OK click on the Microsoft Office button on the top left of the ribbon. You should find the option in there somewhere.
