Calling an HTML Help file from VFP9

Hi,

I have a button on a form that the user can click to display a chm file.

The following works on my development machine (XP Pro SP2) both in
development and runtime.

Nothing happens on the client's machine (XP). The file is in the path and
double-clicking on the help file in Windows displays it as expected.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Regards
