Accessing .chm Help file from VB 6 application

1
How do I access a .chm HELP file from a VB 6 application. I have previously used WinHelp, but that is no longer supported for Vista, so I have converted my .hlp files to .chm, but so far have not been able to access them from my application.

Hi,

I use the shell statement and the hh.exe which reads chm files.

  1. (vb)
  2.  
  3. Help = App.Path & "\My_Help.chm"
  4. XXX = Shell("HH.EXE " & Contextstr & Help, vbNormalFocus)
  5.

hope this helps,
