I'm sure that there is but I can't find the method to call an application
help file w/
 context id.

I have created a .hlp file and it works in a form using the f1 key but how
do you call it programatically from VBA. I do not want to use a message
box. I either want to call help or have the context as a pop up.

Does this make sense? I'd be happy to clarify
