Custom Help File

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I've asked so many questions of you kind people, but if I can get this to
work, my project is done!

I created a custom help file with the use of Shalom Help which was
recommended on this site. I thought that would be the hard part, but with
Shalom Help it was quite simple. I now have two files - one .cnt and one .hlp
- for the life of me I cannot get it to work in Access (2003). From
everything I read, it should be a simple matter of entering the path in the
HelpFile property of each file/report. I have tried the complete path alone,
with and without "s, with and without =, the title only (since it's in the
same file as the program), I have considered the possibility that it's a
function that does not work with the standard Access program - but then why
is the property there? I have even considered re-doing the whole Help File
using Html Workshop. Does anyone know what in the world I'm doing wrong?!

Please help!
