Open chm file

[moongodess]

How can I open a chm file?

 

I tried the following:

 

 

  Quote

Dim strFile As String

strFile = Application.StartupPath & "\help.chm"

 

If (System.IO.File.Exists(strFile) = True) Then

System.IO.File.Open(strFile, IO.FileMode.Open

End If

but nothing happened :(

Does anyone knows what am I doing wrong or if there is another way to open this kind of files?

you won't actually open the file ( so as to see it ) using File.Open , you need to use Process.Start to do that , eg:

Dim strFile As String
strFile = Application.StartupPath & "\help.chm"

If (System.IO.File.Exists(strFile)) Then
   System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(strFile) '/// launch the chm file to view it.
End If

Now, with that code, I got the attached error..

Says something like: 'Its not possible to open the file: mk:@MSITStore:[FilePath\FileName]' :confused:

Does someone have any other idea?

well in that path , you seem to have a \ missing , shouldn't it be HOST\ then the file name.

No, the file name really is 'HOSTGestaoPontos.chm'.

But now I know what was going on.. It was related to the permissions.. I change some things in file properties, and now it works fine.

 

Thankx a lot for your help ;)

 

For someone who need.. Here is the code:

Dim strFile As String

strFile = Application.StartupPath & "\" & mstrFileName

 

If (System.IO.File.Exists(strFile) = True) Then

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(strFile)

End If
