Hi

I have created an MS Help Workshop Helpfile for a windows project.
At the moment, I have placed a copy of that help file "_Help.chm" in the Bin
Dir of my project and reference it via the following code.
///
Dim p As New Process
        p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
        p.StartInfo.FileName = Application.StartupPath() + "\_Help.chm"
        p.Start()
\\\
My Question: If there a more compact or efficient way to add/use this in my
project?

Thanks

Take a look at the HelpProvider component (available in the toolbox).
